[hep-th] seminar

[Branislav Cvetkovic]

Postovane kolege,
u petak 8. aprila u 11 h na Institutu za fiziku, u sali 300, Marko Vojinovic 
ce odrzati prvo od tri predavanja pod naslovom "Introduction to Loop Quantum 
Gravity". U prilogu vam prosledjujem abstrakt.
                                       Pozdrav Branislav

Abstract:

This is a first seminar in the 3-lecture course on Loop Quantum  Gravity. We 
shall begin with the formulation of the problem of  quantization of the 
gravitational field, discuss the main issues, various approaches to QG, and 
mention their main features and drawbacks. Then we shall focus attention on 
LQG approach and discuss  the properties of the classical LQG action, before 
going into the details of the canonical quantization (second lecture) and 
covariant quantization (third lecture). The lectures are mainly intended for 
graduate students, so the technical level will not be high and should be 
suitable for everyone interested.
