Quantum Einstein Gravity
by Martin Reuter, Frank Saueressig
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 87
Description:
We give a pedagogical introduction to the basic ideas and concepts of the Asymptotic Safety program in Quantum Einstein Gravity. Using the continuum approach based upon the effective average action, we summarize the state of the art of the field with a particular focus on the evidence supporting the existence of the non-trivial renormalization group fixed point at the heart of the construction.

An Introduction to Quantum Gravity
by Bryce S. DeWitt, Giampiero Esposito - arXiv
The reader is introduced to the functional integral quantization of gravitation and Yang-Mills theory. The text is useful for all Ph.D. students who face the task of learning some basic concepts in quantum gravity in a relatively short time.
