This volume takes the reader from basics to recent advances, thereby bridging an important gap. It presents a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in loop quantum gravity from the perspective of young leading researchers. The goal is two-fold: to provide a contemporary introduction to the entire field for students and post-docs and, an overview of the current status for more senior researchers. These overviews present the latest developments that are not discussed in existing books, particularly the applications to the cosmology of the early universe and quantum aspects of black holes"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Quantum gravity. 650 0 $a Quantum cosmology. 650 0 $a Quantum theory. 700 1 $a Ashtekar, Abhay, $e editor. 700 1 $a Pullin, Jorge, $e editor. 830 0 $a 100 years of general relativity ; $v v. 4. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802023932.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=37DB570C475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
