Quantum gravity has developed into a fast-growing subject in
physics and it is expected that probing the high-energy and
high-curvature regimes of gravitating systems will shed some light
on how to eventually achieve an ultraviolet complete quantum theory
of gravity. Such a theory would provide the much needed information
about fundamental problems of classical gravity, such as the
initial big-bang singularity, the cosmological constant problem,
Planck scale physics and the early-time inflationary evolution of
our Universe. While in the first part of this book concepts of
quantum gravity are introduced and approached from different
angles, the second part discusses these theories in connection with
cosmological models and observations, thereby exploring which types
of signatures of modern and mathematically rigorous frameworks can
be detected by experiments. The third and final part briefly
reviews the observational status of dark matter and dark energy,
and introduces alternative cosmological models. Edited and authored
by leading researchers in the field and cast into the form of a
multi-author textbook at postgraduate level, this volume will be of
benefit to all postgraduate students and newcomers from neighboring
disciplines wishing to find a comprehensive guide for their future
research.
