| ABSTRACT: |
Recently, loop quantum gravity attracted much attention as a canonical quantization of general relativity because of its nonperturbative formulation. In this approach, microscopic origin of black hole entropy and quantum cosmology have been discussed. In this seminar, I introduce basics of this theory. I also discuss developments and problems in this theory.
