Title: Astrophysical Probes of Quantum Gravity
Abstract:
Over the last few years the quantum gravity community has adopted a
more optimistic attitude toward the possibility of finding
experimental contexts providing insight on non-classical properties
of space-time. We review the phenomenology of quantum gravity, with
emphasis on possible manifestations of the fundamental quantum nature
of space-time using observations of distant astrophysical sources
such as gamma-ray bursts and active galactic nuclei.
