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.

From Classical To Quantum Gravity: Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity
by Kristina Giesel, Hanno Sahlmann - arXiv
An introduction to the canonical quantization of gravity performed in loop quantum gravity. A special feature of this introduction is the inclusion of new proposals for coupling matter to gravity that can be used to deparametrize the theory.

Spin Foam Models for Quantum Gravity
by Alejandro Perez - arXiv
In this article we review the present status of the spin foam formulation of non-perturbative quantum gravity. In the first part we present a general introduction to the main ideas emphasizing their motivations from various perspectives.

An Introduction to Quantum Gravity
by Bryce S. DeWitt, Giampiero Esposito - arXiv
The reader is introduced to the functional integral quantization of gravitation and Yang-Mills theory. The text is useful for all Ph.D. students who face the task of learning some basic concepts in quantum gravity in a relatively short time.
