Such a theory would provide the much needed information about fundamental problems of classical gravity, such as the initial big-bang singularity, the cosmological constant problem, Planck scale physics and the early-time inflationary evolution of our Universe.   While in the first part of this book concepts of quantum gravity are introduced and approached from different angles, the second part discusses these theories in connection with cosmological models and observations, thereby exploring which types of signatures of modern and mathematically rigorous frameworks can be detected by experiments. The third and final part briefly reviews the observational status of dark matter and dark energy, and introduces alternative cosmological models.   Edited and authored by leading researchers in the field and cast into the form of a multi-author textbook at postgraduate level, this volume will be of benefit to all postgraduate students and newcomers from neighboring disciplines wishing to find a comprehensive guide for their future research. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v863 606 $aGravitation 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString theory 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120 610 1 $aCosmology 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString theory. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. 615 24$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences. 676 $a523.1/8 702 $aCalcagni$b Gianluca$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPapantonopoulos$b Lefteris$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSiopsis$b George$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTsamis$b Nikos$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466695503316 996 $aQuantum Gravity and Quantum Cosmology$92296096 997 $aUNISA
