Canonical gravity : from classical to quantum : proceedings of the 117th WE Heraeus seminar held at Bad Honnef, Germany, 13 17 September 1993
The search for a quantum gravity theory, a theory expected to combine the principles of general relativity and quantum theory, has led to some of the most deepest and most difficult conceptual and mathematical questions of modern physics. The present book, addressing these issues in the framework of...
