Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity.
This is the video recording of the introductory course to LQG that I have given in Marseille in March 2018.DropBox Link to course material.
Recently I have been repeatedly asked for copies of two old papers:- The long original paper with Lee Smolin introducing the Loop representation: C Rovelli, L Smolin: “Loop space representation for quantum general relativity”, Nuclear Physics B331, 80 (1990)
I have asked permission to Elsevier and I am waiting for an answer.
- The first paper on fermions in LQG: H Morales-Tecotl and C Rovelli: ``Loop space representation of quantum fermions and gravity", Nuclear Physics B 451, 325 (1995)

2011 lecture on Loop Quantum Gravity
This is an mp4 video (now it works, previosuly the link was broken) of the lecture I have given at the LOOPS 11 conference in Madrid (May 2011).I give an overview of the theory, after the momentous developments and the results of the last few years.
