Quantum Field Theory and Gravity Conceptual and Mathematical Advances in the Search for a Unified Framework /

One of the most challenging problems of contemporary theoretical physics is the mathematically rigorous construction of a theory which describes gravitation and the other fundamental physical interactions within a common framework. The physical ideas which grew from attempts to develop such a theory...
