The projector on physical states in loop quantum gravity
The loop approach to quantum gravity [1] based on the Ashtekar variables [2] has been successful in establishing a consistent and physically reasonable framework for the mathematical description of quantum spacetime [3]. This framework has provided intriguing results on the quantum properties of space, most notably detailed quantitative results on the discrete quanta of the geometry [4]. The no...
متن کاملOn Loop States in Loop Quantum Gravity
We explicitly construct and characterize all possible independent loop states in 3+1 dimensional loop quantum gravity by regulating it on a 3-d regular lattice in the Hamiltonian formalism. These loop states, characterized by the (dual) angular momentum quantum numbers, describe SU(2) rigid rotators on the links of the lattice. The loop states are constructed using the Schwinger bosons which ar...
متن کاملDisordered locality in loop quantum gravity states
We show that loop quantum gravity suffers from a potential problem with nonlocality, coming from a mismatch between micro-locality, as defined by the combinatorial structures of their microscopic states, and macro-locality, defined by the metric which emerges from the low energy limit. As a result, the low energy limit may suffer from a disordered locality characterized by identifications of fa...
متن کاملPhysical Diffeomorphisms in Loop Quantum Gravity
We investigate the action of diffeomorphisms in the context of Hamiltonian Gravity. By considering how the diffeomorphism-invariant Hilbert space of Loop Quantum Gravity should be constructed, we formulate a physical principle by demanding, that the gauge-invariant Hilbert space is a completion of gauge(i.e. diffeomorphism-)orbits of the classical (configuration) variables, explaining which ext...
متن کاملLectures on Loop Quantum Gravity
Quantum General Relativity (QGR), sometimes called Loop Quantum Gravity, has matured over the past fifteen years to a mathematically rigorous candidate quantum field theory of the gravitational field. The features that distinguish it from other quantum gravity theories are 1) background independence and 2) minimality of structures. Background independence means that this is a non-perturbative a...
