A Quantum Goldman Bracket for Loops on Surfaces
In the context of (2+1)–dimensional gravity, we use holonomies of constant connections which generate a q–deformed representation of the fundamental group to derive signed area phases which relate the quantum matrices assigned to homotopic loops. We use these features to determine a quantum Goldman bracket (commutator) for intersecting loops on surfaces, and discuss the resulting quantum geometry.
متن کاملConstant connections, quantum holonomies and the Goldman bracket
In the context of 2 + 1–dimensional quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant and topology R×T 2, constant matrix–valued connections generate a q–deformed representation of the fundamental group, and signed area phases relate the quantum matrices assigned to homotopic loops. Some features of the resulting quantum geometry are explored, and as a consequence a quantum version of the Gol...
متن کاملQuantum Holonomies in (2+1)-Dimensional Gravity
We describe an approach to the quantisation of (2+1)–dimensional gravity with topology IR×T 2 and negative cosmological constant, which uses two quantum holonomy matrices satisfying a q–commutation relation. Solutions of diagonal and upper–triangular form are constructed, which in the latter case exhibit additional, non–trivial internal relations for each holonomy matrix. Representations are co...
متن کاملTime in (2+1)-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
General relativity in three spacetime dimensions is used to explore three approaches to the “problem of time” in quantum gravity: the internal Schrödinger approach with mean extrinsic curvature as a time variable, the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, and covariant canonical quantization with “evolving constants of motion.” (To appear in Proc. of the Lanczos Centenary Conference, Raleigh, NC, December 1...
متن کاملThe Kauffman bracket and the Jones polynomial in quantum gravity
An analysis of the action of the Hamiltonian constraint of quantum gravity on the Kauffman bracket and Jones knot polynomials is proposed. It is explicitely shown that the Kauffman bracket is a formal solution of the Hamiltonian constraint with cosmological constant (Λ) to third order in Λ. The calculation is performed in the extended loop representation of quantum gravity. The analysis makes u...
