Extremal variety as the foundation of a cosmological quantum theory
Julian Barbour, Lee Smolin
Dynamical systems of a new kind are described, which are motivated by the problem of constructing diffeomorphism invariant quantum theories. These are based on the extremization of…

Recent Developments in Non-Perturbative Quantum Gravity
Lee Smolin
New results from the new variables/loop representation program of nonperturbative quantum gravity are presented, with a focus on results of Ashtekar, Rovelli and the author which g…
