An Invitation to Loop Quantum Gravity
Abstract
We describe the basic assumptions and key results of loop quantum gravity. No details are given, but references are provided to guide the interested reader to the literature. We provide a list of 34 key results, to date, on loop quantum gravity. We discuss also the near term prospects for observational tests of quantum theories of gravity and the expectations that loop quantum gravity may provide predictions for their outcomes. Finally a list of some key open problems is given.
