This is the write-up of my lectures at the NATO Summer School held in Salamanca in June 1992. The paper deals with the problem of time in quantum gravity. All the major schemes are reviewed. Please note that the paper is in two parts for ease of email transmission; this is part 1. The mailer from gr-qc may further subdivide these two sections.

A Material Frame: Hard Recoils from Slow Force Carriers
Making the photon's longitudinal mode a physical, ultra-slow particle turns gauge invariance into a smooth limit and predicts rare, hard recoils of charges against a preferred frame, bounded to c_L ≲ 10^-60 by xenon d...

Quantization of Gravity on Null Hypersurfaces
An operator-algebraic quantization of the characteristic initial-value problem yields a candidate on-shell algebra for a gravitational subregion bounded by two null hypersurfaces.

Quantum Reference Fields Transformations in Linearized Quantum Gravity

Schr\"odinger Symmetry in Spherically-symmetric Static Mini-superspaces with Matter Fields
Spherically symmetric static gravity with Maxwell or massless-scalar matter exhibits Schrödinger symmetry after a canonical transformation, yielding (A)dS-Reissner-Nordström and generalized Janis-Newman-Winicour solutions.

York time in JT gravity
In JT gravity, the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction satisfies a Schrodinger equation in York time with a Hermitian squeezing Hamiltonian, and York time evolution is a unitary change of the length basis rather than physical...

Problem of Time and Background Independence: classical version's higher Lie Theory
Extends classical Lie theory with Lie's Algorithm and a commuting pentagon invariance criterion to locally resolve the Problem of Time via background independence.

Canonical Clock Sectors and Relational Frame Equivalence in Brans--Dicke Theory
Apparent Jordan–Einstein inequivalence after relational deparametrization is a clock-sector mismatch; a frame-adapted canonical chart restores identical reduced Hamiltonians.

Wormholes as red herrings: reflection positivity and the reconstruction of unitary quantum field theories
Unitary QFTs are determined up to unitary isomorphism by closed-manifold partition functions; every reflection-positive partition function comes from a unitary QFT, so spatial wormholes do not break Hilbert-space fact...

Diffeomorphism-Invariant Quantities in Phase Space: More than Correlations
In diffeomorphism-invariant models, invariant content requires spatiotemporal structures beyond correlations, as correlations are invariant only in a generalized non-smooth sense and spatiotemporal relations are also ...

Quantum Cosmology in Krylov Space: Complexity and Entropy
In a sharply peaked Gaussian state of a flat FLRW universe with a massless scalar clock, Krylov state complexity grows as σ²(φ−φ0)²/4 and operator complexity is exactly twice that, in both Wheeler-DeWitt and loop quan...

Localization and anomalous reference frames in gravity

On the relation between perspective-neutral, algebraic, and effective quantum reference frames
For ideal quantum reference frames with a single constraint, the perspective-neutral, algebraic, and effective semiclassical approaches describe the same physics and the same frame-switching rules.

Observers and Timekeepers: From the Page-Wootters Mechanism to the Gravitational Path Integral
Metric summation produces the problem of time, topology summation produces the one-dimensional Hilbert space, and a timekeeper path integral gives observer-dependent holography.

An apologia for islands
Entanglement islands and Page curves can arise in massless gravity without an external bath, and compactly supported gauge-invariant operators exist in islands around generic symmetry-breaking black hole backgrounds.

Unitary quantum matter-bounce in a universe with a positive cosmological constant
Quantizing a dust-filled universe with positive cosmological constant yields a unitary wave packet whose expectation value bounces, avoiding the classical Big Bang singularity.

Quantum Schwarzschild-(A)dS Black Holes: Unitarity and Singularity Resolution
Unitarity in unimodular time self-adjointness resolves the Schwarzschild-(A)dS singularity and yields a quantum-corrected metric interpolating between black and white hole states.

Exact path integrals on half-line in quantum cosmology with a fluid clock and aspects of operator ordering ambiguity
For minisuperspace dimension D>2 with a fluid clock, adding a specific curvature term makes physical predictions independent of a large class of operator orderings; in D=1 the ambiguity remains.

Inflation in unimodular loop quantum cosmology
In unimodular loop quantum cosmology, an α-attractor potential allows a potential-energy-dominated bounce at the Planck scale that is consistent with CMB observations and may show quantum-gravity imprints.

A First-Order Gauge Approach to de Sitter General Relativity
Promoting the de Sitter radius to a variable field yields a first-order gauge reformulation in which a varying cosmological term is tied to torsion, but the field itself has no equation of motion.

How to make a Universe
A canonical formalism links changing constants of nature to matter production, and an absorbing Markov chain model suggests fixed, diffeomorphism-invariant laws are the absorbing state that preserves the matter gained.
