Gravitation Links
- Quantum Gravity A brief explanation of the search for a quantum theory of gravity, including links to sites on topological field theories.
- Loop Quantum Gravity A general overview of ideas, results and open problems of loop quantum gravity.
- Matters of Gravity An online journal with articles on advances in the theories of gravity.
- Gravity as an Effective Field Theory This is a pedagogical introduction to the treatment of general relativity as a quantum effective field theory.
- Quantum Geometry and Black Holes Non-perturbative quantum general relativity provides a possible framework to analyze black holes. A review of recent developments in this area is given at a post-doctoral level.
- Strings, Loops and Others This postscript file contains a review of the present theoretical attempts to understand the quantum properties of spacetime.
- An Introduction to Simplicial Gravity Contains introductory material on quantum mechanics and relativity and outlines one method of combining the two theories.
- An Ode to Effective Lagrangian A brief introduction is given to the methods of effective lagrangians. The emphasis is on a summary of the overall picture, using a simple model of quantum gravity.
- Classical and Quantum Gravity A journal for physicists, mathematicians and cosmologists working in the fields of gravitation and the theory of spacetime. Abstracts, full text editorials, and freely available featured articles.
- Quantum Gravity and M-Theory A review of modern approaches to quantum gravity.
- Discrete Approaches to Quantum Gravity The construction of a consistent theory of quantum gravity is a problem in theoretical physics that has so far defied all attempts at resolution. Reviewed here are three major areas of research: gauge-theoretic approaches; quantum Regge calculus; and the method of dynamical triangulations.
- Quantum Gravity A site maintained by Cambridge University on advances in quantum theories of gravity.
- Numerical Quantum Gravity An overview of work being done in the field of quantum gravity.
- Summary Report of the D2 Workshop A review of material presented at 1998 conference on quantum cosmology.
- Cosmology, Black Holes & Quantum Gravity An overview of Quantum Cosmology and Topological Structure of the Early Universe. From the University of Cambridge.
- Random Surfaces and Quantum Gravity Monte Carlo methods are being used to study discrete random surface models of string theory and quantum gravity. We are developing algorithms for parallelizing this dynamic irregular mesh problem.
