| dc.description | We start a program of background independent quantum gravity in eight dimensions. We begin by considering canonical gravity \textit{a la} "Kaluza-Klein" in $D=d+1$ dimensions. We show that our canonical gravity approach can be applied to the case of self-dual gravity in four dimensions. Further, by using our previously proposed classical action of Ashtekar self-dual gravity formalism in eight dimensions, we proceed to develop the canonical approach in eight dimensions. Our construction considers different SO(8) symmetry breakings. In particular, the breaking $SO(8)=S_{R}^{7}% \times S_{L}^{7}\times G_{2}$ plays an important role in our discussion. | |
