Master Constraint Operator in Loop Quantum Gravity
We introduce a Master Constraint Operator M̂ densely defined in the diffeomorphism invariant Hilbert space in loop quantum gravity. The corresponding quadratic form coincides with the one proposed by Thiemann in the master constraint programme. It is shown that M̂ is positive and symmetric, and hence has its Friedrichs self-adjoint extension. So the master constraint programme for loop quantum gr...
متن کاملMaster Constraint Operators in Loop Quantum Gravity
We introduce a master constraint operator M̂ densely defined in the diffeomorphism invariant Hilbert space in loop quantum gravity, which corresponds classically to the master constraint in the programme. It is shown that M̂ is positive and symmetric, and hence has its Friedrichs self-adjoint extension. The same conclusion is tenable for an alternative master operator M̂′, whose quadratic form coi...
متن کاملThe Phoenix Project: Master Constraint Programme for Loop Quantum Gravity
The Hamiltonian constraint remains the major unsolved problem in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). Seven years ago a mathematically consistent candidate Hamiltonian constraint has been proposed but there are still several unsettled questions which concern the algebra of commutators among smeared Hamiltonian constraints which must be faced in order to make progress. In this paper we propose a solution...
متن کاملExact Path Integral for 3D Quantum Gravity.
Three-dimensional Euclidean pure gravity with a negative cosmological constant can be formulated in terms of the Chern-Simons theory, classically. This theory can be written in a supersymmetric way by introducing auxiliary gauginos and scalars. We calculate the exact partition function of this Chern-Simons theory by using the localization technique. Thus, we obtain the quantum gravity partition...
متن کاملTesting the Master Constraint Programme for Loop Quantum Gravity I. General Framework
Recently the Master Constraint Programme for Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) was proposed as a classically equivalent way to impose the infinite number of Wheeler – DeWitt constraint equations in terms of a single Master Equation. While the proposal has some promising abstract features, it was until now barely tested in known models. In this series of five papers we fill this gap, thereby adding con...
