Artur Tsobanjan: An introduction to some issues in canonical quantum gravity
Wednesday, 27.07.2011 14:00 im Raum SR5
Description:
The canonical approach seeks to define a quantum theory of
gravity by applying the standard rules of quantum mechanics
to the general theory of relativity as far as possible. Due
to the structural features of the latter, the rules of
quantization have to be generalized and the canonical
programme encounters several conceptual and technical
obstructions that are the subject of ongoing research
(particularly in the field of Loop Quantum Gravity). I will
introduce some of these issues through a rather general
discussion of the structural features of quantization and
the general theory of relativity from the physics point of
view. I will attempt to illustrate one particular aspect of
the so-called Problem of Time through the use of a simple model.
