Loop quantum gravity: a canonical review — •Christian Fleischhack — Institut für Mathematik, Universität Paderborn, 33095 Paderborn
Over the past 25 years, loop quantum gravity has become a relevant attempt to explain the mystery of quantum gravity. However, despite several remarkable achievements, not all the initial dreams have turned into reality; e.g., the dynamics of the theory has remained a rather open territory.
In our review on the current status of loop quantum gravity, we will focus on its canonical part. After presenting the well-understood kinematical basis, we will address dynamical issues as well as an implementation of symmetries that allows to partially relate loop quantum gravity to loop quantum cosmology.
