Quantum Einstein Gravity
by Martin Reuter, Frank Saueressig
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 87
Description:
We give a pedagogical introduction to the basic ideas and concepts of the Asymptotic Safety program in Quantum Einstein Gravity. Using the continuum approach based upon the effective average action, we summarize the state of the art of the field with a particular focus on the evidence supporting the existence of the non-trivial renormalization group fixed point at the heart of the construction.

Quantum Physics, Relativity, and Complex Spacetimeby Gerald Kaiser - University of Massachusetts at Lowell
A new synthesis of the principles of quantum mechanics and Relativity is proposed in the context of complex differential geometry. The positivity of the energy implies that wave functions and fields can be extended to complex spacetime.

Loop Quantum Gravityby 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.
