abstract
In general relativity (GR), spacetime geometry is no longer just a background arena but a physical and dynamical entity with its own degrees of freedom. We present an overview of approaches to quantum gravity in which this central feature of GR is at the forefront. However, the short distance dynamics in the quantum theory are quite different from those of GR and classical spacetimes and gravitons emerge only in a suitable limit. Our emphasis is on communicating the key strategies, the main results and open issues. In the spirit of this volume, we focus on a few avenues that have led to the most significant advances over the past 2-3 decades.

The one-loop effective action from the coherent state path integral of loop quantum gravity
The one-loop effective action from the LQG coherent state path integral is computed and found to be UV-finite, with the dynamical area j0 > 0 at the quantum level.
