Emergent Models for Gravity: an overview
by L. Sindoni
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 54
Description:
We give a critical overview of various attempts to describe gravity as an emergent phenomenon, starting from examples of condensed matter physics, to arrive to more sophisticated pregeometric models. The common line of thought is to view the graviton as a composite particle/collective mode. However, we will describe many different ways in which this idea is realized in practice.

Loop Quantum Gravity
by Thomas Thiemann - arXiv
This is a (relatively) non-technical summary of the status of the quantum dynamics in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). We explain in detail the historical evolution of the subject and why the results obtained so far are non-trivial.

New Paths Towards Quantum Gravity
by B. Booss-Bavnbek, G. Esposito, M. Lesch - Springer
The division of the book in two (overlapping) parts reflects the duality between the physical vision and the mathematical construction. This book will benefit everyone working or entering the field of quantum gravity research.

Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity
by Simone Mercuri - arXiv
After a description of some general arguments and an introduction to the canonical theory of gravity, the author reviews the background independent approach to quantum gravity, giving only a brief survey of Loop Quantum Gravity.
