Quantization of the gravitational field

Uspekhi Fizicheskih Nauk, 1973
A review dedicated to the contemporary methods of quantization of the gravitational field. In view of possible applications to elementary particle theory, the authors consider only asymptotically flat gravitational fields. The basis of the exposed method of quantization is the method of quantization of gauge fields in the functional integration ...

The necessity of quantizing the gravitational field

Foundations of Physics, 1977
The assumption that a classical gravitational field interacts with a quantum system is shown to lead to violations of either momentum conservation or the uncertainty principle, or to result in transmission of signals faster thanc. A similar argument holds for the electromagnetic field.

On the Quantization of Einstein's Gravitational Field Equations

Physical Review, 1950
Weiss' method of quantization of field theories characterized by first-order Lagrangians can be carried out in a non-metrical "amorphous" space, as was first stated by Bergmann and Brunings. The gravitational equations can be regarded as differential equations for the field variables ${g}_{\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\nu}}$ in an amorphous space and ...
