Vojinovic ce odrzati drugo iz serije predavanja o "Loop" kvantnoj 
gravitaciji. U prilogu vam saljem apsrtrakt seminara.

Pozdrav Branislav

Title: Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity (2/3) 
Abstract: 
This is the second seminar in the 3-lecture course on Loop Quantum 
Gravity. We shall demonstrate the procedure of nonperturbative canonical 
quantization of general relativity in the Schroedinger picture. The main 
topics to be reviewed are the classical and quantum constraints, 
definition and separability of the Hilbert space, loop transform and spin 
network basis. Finally, we shall discuss the area and volume operators 
and their spectra, as an introduction to the spinfoam formalism (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.
