Higher dimensional and supersymmetric extensions of loop quantum gravity
In this work, we extend loop quantum gravity (LQG) both, to higher dimensions and supersymmetry (i.e. supergravity theories), thus overcoming the current limitation to 3+1 dimensions with standard
A note on quantum supergravity and AdS/CFT
We note that the non-perturbative quantisation of supergravity as recently investigated using loop quantum gravity techniques provides an opportunity to probe an interesting sector of the AdS/CFT
Toward black hole entropy in chiral loop quantum supergravity

Recently, many geometric aspects of N -extended AdS supergravity in chiral variables have been encountered and clariﬁed. In particular, if the theory is supposed to be invariant under SUSY
Supersymmetric minisuperspace models in loop quantum cosmology

In this paper, we study a class of symmetry reduced models of $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity using self-dual variables. It is based on a particular Ansatz for the gravitino field as proposed by D'Eath

Abstract In this paper, we study a class of symmetry reduced models of $$\mathcal{N}$$ N = 1 super- gravity using self-dual variables. It is based on a particular Ansatz for the gravitino field

The classical gravity approximation is often employed in AdS/CFT to study the dual field theory, as it allows for many computations. A drawback is however the generic presence of singularities in
Dynamics in canonical models of loop quantum gravity
Loop quantum gravity is a tentative but relatively well-developed attempt at a manifestly background independent theory of quantum gravity. The kinematical structure of loop quantum gravity is well

Recent work has shown that local supersymmetry on a spacetime boundary in N -extended AdS supergravity in chiral variables implies coupling to a boundary OSp( N| 2) C super Chern-Simons theory. We
Loop Quantum Gravity
This article presents an "in-a-nutshell" yet self-contained introductory review on loop quantum gravity (LQG) -- a background-independent, nonperturbative approach to a consistent quantum theory of
Dynamics in Canonical Models of Loop Quantum Gravity
In this thesis we consider the problem of dynamics in canonical loop quantum gravity, primarily in the context of deparametrized models, in which a scalar field is taken as a physical time variable

Supergravity was originally introduced in the hope of finding a theory of gravity without the shortcoming of perturbative non-renormalisability. Although this goal does not seem to have been reached

Actions for gravity, with generalizations: A Review
The search for a theory of quantum gravity has for a long time been almost fruitless. A few years ago, however, Ashtekar found a reformulation of Hamiltonian gravity, which thereafter has given rise

Conventional wisdom says that the simpler the Lagrangian of a theory the simpler its perturbation theory. An ever-increasing understanding of the structure of scattering amplitudes has however been
Representations of the holonomy algebras of gravity and nonAbelian gauge theories

Holonomy algebras arise naturally in the classical description of Yang-Mills fields and gravity, and it has been suggested, at a heuristic level, that they may also play an important role in a
