Modelos bidimensionales en gravedad cuántica de lazos (original) (raw)

I am very thankful to my advisor Prof. Rodolfo Gambini for introducing me to many new ideas in the exciting field of quantum gravity, for his guidance, support and patience during my PhD studies and research. It has been a great opportunity to be able to work with and learn from him which I will never forget. I also would like to thank Prof. Jorge Pullin for all of his help and support. I have leaned from him directly and indirectly, and collaborating with him has been a great opportunity for me. This work could not have been fulfilled if it was not for his and my advisor's valuable support and insight. My thanks also goes to many of the professors and students of the Instituto de Física, Universidad de la República with whom I have had many discussions about my work, and have helped me in my learning and research process. Particularly I would like to thanks Dr. Michael Reisenberger and Dr. Pablo Mora for our discussions and for their supports both as scientists and as friends. I would also like to thank Prof. Raul Donangelo for reading the manuscript carefully and suggesting important editorial notes. I have enjoyed and learned from discussions with many of the students of the institute, particularly Sebastian Torterolo, Cesar Vulgaris, Rodrigo Eyheralde and Pablo Pais. My warmest thanks goes to my parents for their continuous love and support without whom I would never be able to fulfill any of my life successes. They have tried to raise me a curious and free thinking person which is an important reason why I study physics.
