Overview
Presents some recent results in quantum gravity, particularly regarding non-local boundary conditions in Euclidean quantum gravity. The author lays the groundwork with key elements of a manifestly covariant formulation of quantum field theory and fundamental results in the theory of elliptic boundary-value problems. He then proposes an integro-differential boundary operator acting on metric perturbations in the gravitational field, and examines gauge theories, ghost operators, ellipticity, kernels and spectral geometry.
