Elementary particle physics is the quadrant of nature whose laws can be written in a few lines with absolute precision and the greatest empirical adequacy. If this is the case, as I believe it is, it must be possible and is probably useful…
A School on Loop Quantum Gravity was held at the IMSc during Sept 8 -- 18, 2009. In the first week a basic introduction to LQG was provided while in the second week the focus was on the two main application, to cosmology (LQC) and to the…
