The Spin Foam Approach to Quantum Gravity
read the original abstract
This article reviews the present status of the spin foam approach to the quantization of gravity. Special attention is payed to the pedagogical presentation of the recently introduced new models for four dimensional quantum gravity. The models are motivated by a suitable implementation of the path integral quantization of the Plebanski formulation of gravity on a simplicial regularization. The article also includes a self-contained treatment of the 2+1 gravity. The simple nature of the latter provides the basis and a perspective for the analysis of both conceptual and technical issues that remain open in four dimensions.

Hamiltonian formulation for scalar and two-form gauge fields coupled to 3d gravity
A Dirac-Bergmann constraint analysis is carried out for scalar and two-form fields coupled to 3D gravity, yielding the full set of first- and second-class constraints, their algebra, gauge generators reproducing diffe...

Quantum-Deformed Phase-Space Geometry and Emergent Inflation in Effective Four-Dimensional Spacetime
Quantum deformation of projective phase-space geometry induces a conformally deformed FLRW metric whose time-dependent corrections modify inflationary background equations, slow-roll parameters, and perturbations in a...
