Quantum theory of gravitation

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the attempts to obtain a quantum theory of gravitation is presented, and the essential ideas of those programmes on which extensive work has been done are discussed.

The Quantization Program for General Relativity

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of the construction of a quantum theory of gravitation is attacked by a variety of methods, and the fundamental epistemological difficulties are ellucidated and certain novel qualitative features of the sought-for quantum theory are described.

The conformally invariant Laplace–Beltrami operator and factor ordering

TL;DR: The conformally invariant Laplace-Beltrami operator for non-conformally-flat metrics was shown in this article, where it was shown that this type of factor ordering fails, by just one term.

Observables and Hamilton-Jacobi approaches to general relativity

TL;DR: The main focus is on the Hamilton-Jacobi techniques in classical general relativity that were pursued by Peter Bergmann and Arthur Komar in the 1960s and 1970s as mentioned in this paper. But this is not the case for all of these approaches.

Inertia and Gravity: a New Approach to Dynamical Theory in General Relativity

TL;DR: In this article, a new approach to gravity field dynamics is proposed, as an alternative to the standard formulation of General Relativity, where spacetime metric tensors are split, into an externally fixed background geometry (inertia) and a local dynamical field (gravity); and a dynamical theory of matter and gravity in the inertial background is developed.
