These lectures briefly review our current understanding of classical and quantum gravity in three spacetime dimensions, concentrating on the quantum mechanics of closed universes and the (2+1)-dimensional black hole. Three formulations of…
This is a brief and updated summary of a talk given at the International Conference on Gravitation and Cosmology that took place in Poona in December 1995. It is very brief and is mostly intended as a guide to current literature, or to keep…
This is a summary talk covering recent progress in perturbative methods for gauge theories and gravity, applications of AdS/CFT duality, vacuum energy, and string theory models of particle physics and cosmology.

We summarize the talks presented at the QG4 session (loop quantum gravity: cosmology and black holes) of the 13th Marcel Grossmann Meeting held in Stockholm, Sweden.
In this contribution to the conference "Beyond Einstein: Historical Perspectives on Geometry, Gravitation and Cosmology in the Twentieth Century", we give a critical status report of attempts to explain the late accelerated expansion of the…
This paper is a collection of lecture notes on modified gravity. Various modified gravity models formulated within the Riemannian formalism are discussed.
In this report I will give a summary of some of the main topics covered in Session A3, mathematical studies of the field equations, at GRG18, Sydney. Unfortunately, due to length constraints, some of the topics covered at the session will…

Algebraic computing in relativity and gravitation dates back more than thirty years, but only relatively recently has hardware of sufficient power to tackle large scale calculations become commonplace. Whereas it is generally understood…
This survey paper is divided into two parts. In the first (section 2), I give a brief account of the structure of classical relativity theory. In the second (section 3), I discuss three special topics: (i) the status of the relative…

A review is given of some classical and quantum aspects of 2+1 dimensional gravity.
Starting from the work of the author in 1990 with different collaborators, essential progress in 2d gravity theories has been made. Now all such theories (and not only certain special models) can be treated at the classical as well as at…

As per organizers' request, my talk at the 11th Marcel Grossmann Conference consisted of two parts. In the first, I illustrated recent advances in loop quantum gravity through examples. In the second, I presented an overall assessment of…
Research during the last one decade or so suggests that the gravitational field equations in a large class of theories (including, but not limited to, general relativity) have the same status as the equations of, say, gas dynamics or…
