The workshop is organised within the framework
of the ESF research network Quantum Geometry and Quantum Gravity, coordinated
by John Barrett and Hermann Nicolai - see http://www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk/qg
for further information about the network.
Presentation files (most of) are available to download
Programme
- The dynamics of quantum space (the status of the quantum Hamiltonian
constraint in LQG and the covariant implementation of the
dynamics in spin foam models and group field theories).
- The semiclassical limit and the continuum approximation in loop quantum
gravity and the recovering of classical General Relativity and of matter
quantum field theory in such approximation.
- Quantum gravitational observables.
- The role of diffeomorphisms in quantum gravity, their nature and
possible breaking at the Planck scale or in discrete contexts.
