Perturbative Quantum Gravity
Perturbative quantum gravity can be formulated in terms of amplitudes of going from a three-metric and a matter-field configuration on a spacelike surface Σ to a three-metric and a field configuration on a spacelike surface Σ′. The Wick-rotated quantum am

The Editorial Policy for Monographs Theseries Lecture Notes in Physics reports new developments in physical research and teaching- quickly, informally, and at a high Ievel. The type of material considered for publication in the New Series m includes monographs presenting original research or new angles in a classical field. The timeliness of a manuscript is more important than its form, which may be preliminary or tentative. Manuscripts should be reasonably selfcontained. They will often present not only results ofthe author(s) but also related work by other people and will provide sufficient motivation, examples, and applications. The manuscripts or a detailed description thereof should be submitted either to one of the series editors or to the managing editor. The proposal is then carefully refereed. A final decision concerning publication can often only be made on the basis of the complete manuscript, but otherwise the editorswill try to make a preliminary decision as definite as they can on the basis of the available information. Manuscripts should be no less than 100 and preferably no more than 400 pages in length. Final manuscripts should preferably be in English, or possibly in French or German. They should include a table of contents and an informative introduction accessible also to readers not particularly familiar with the topic treated. Authors are free to use the material in other publications. However, if extensive use is made elsewhere, the publisher should be informed. Authors receive jointly 50 complimentary copies of their book. They are entitled to purchase further copies of their book at a reduced rate. As a rule no reprints of individual contributions can be supplied. No royalty is paid on Lecture Notes in Physics volumes. Commitment to publish is made by Ietter of interest rather than by signing a formal contract. Springer-Verlag secures the copyright for each volume.
The Production Process The books are hardbound, and quality paper appropriate to the needs ofthe author(s) is used. Pu
