Zakopane lectures on loop gravity

269 citations recorded by the source corpus.

This is a first version of the introductory lectures on loop quantum gravity that I will give at the quantum gravity school in Zakopane. The theory is presented in self-contained form, without emphasis on its derivation from classical general relativity. Dynamics is given in the covariant form. Some applications are described, including the recent derivation of de Sitter cosmology from full quantum gravity.
