New ideas - and there are many of them for this is an exciting field of research - often diverge to a degree where it seems impossible to decide in which of the many possible direction(s) the ongoing developments should be further sustained. The division of the book in two (overlapping) parts reflects the duality between the physical vision and the mathematical construction. The former is represented by tutorial reviews on non-commutative geometry, on space-time discretization and renormalization and on gauge field path integrals. The latter one by lectures on cohomology, on stochastic geometry and on mathematical tools for the effective action in quantum gravity. The book will benefit everyone working or entering the field of quantum gravity research.Lecture notes in physics ;807.Quantum gravityGravitationQuantum gravity.Gravitation.530.143Booss Bernhelm1941-53556Esposito Giampiero44196Lesch Matthias1961-65751MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139473203321New paths towards quantum gravity4190014UNINA02144nam 2200493z- 450 991055760570332120211118(CKB)5400000000045346(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/73631(oapen)doab73631(EXLCZ)99540000000004534620202111d2020 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAnimal-Mediated Dispersal in Understudied SystemsFrontiers Media SA20201 online resource (196 p.)2-88963-477-9 This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area!
