in order to satisfy links, but maybe really in procrastination of other duties, I wrote something at quantum gravity
Promted by discussion in another thread, I have added pointers to two standard reviews to quantum gravity. Don’t have time to do more right this moment, but if anyone feels energetic about this, I’d be most happy to join into developing the entry further later this week or next week or the like.
added pointer to Witten 11. Added the same pointer also at worldline formalism
added missing pointer to the original: Feynman 63
added pointer to
added statement (here) of the first order quantum correction to the Newtionian -potential, from Donoghue 95, section 9

added this pointer and quote:
Bernhard Riemann, Über die Hypothesen, welche der Geometrie zu Grunde liegen, Göttingen (1845) [doi:10.1007/978-3-642-35121-1]

[§III.3] Now it seems that the empirical notions on which the metric determinations of Space are based, the concept of a solid body and a light ray, lose their validity in the infinitely small; it is therefore quite definitely conceivable that the metric relations of Space in the infinitely small do not conform to the hypotheses of geometry; and in fact, one ought to assume this as soon as it permits a simpler way of explaining phenomena.
