Time:   20. April 2011
Place:   Institute of Physics
Title:   Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity (2b/3)
Abstract:
This is the continuation of the second lecture of the 3-lecture course on Loop Quantum Gravity. We shall demonstrate how spin network states arise in the theory, and what are their main properties. Then we shall pass on to the area and volume operators, and discuss their spectrum. The lectures are mainly intended for graduate students, so the technical level will not be high and should be suitable for everyone interested.
