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.

Emergent Models for Gravity: an overview
by L. Sindoni - arXiv
An overview of attempts to describe gravity as an emergent phenomenon, starting from condensed matter physics to more sophisticated pregeometric models. The common line of thought is to view the graviton as a composite particle/collective moode.

Generally Covariant Quantum Theory
by Johan Noldus - viXra
The intention of this book is to dig deep in the first principles of physics and develop a relativistic quantum theory from scratch. By this, I mean a theory for the so-called elementary particles which constitute building blocks of nature ...
