The length operator in Loop Quantum Gravity
The dual picture of quantum geometry provided by a spin network state is discussed. From this perspective, we introduce a new operator in Loop Quantum Gravity – the length operator. We describe its quantum geometrical meaning and derive some of its properties. In particular we show that the operator has a discrete spectrum and is diagonalized by appropriate superpositions of spin network states...
متن کاملMaster 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 کاملEssential Self-adjointness in One-loop Quantum Cosmology
The quantization of closed cosmologies makes it necessary to study squared Dirac operators on closed intervals and the corresponding quantum amplitudes. This paper shows that the proof of essential self-adjointness of these second-order elliptic operators is related to Weyl’s limit point criterion, and to the properties of continuous potentials which are positive near zero and are bounded on th...
متن کاملTowards conformal loop quantum gravity
A discussion is given of recent developments in canonical gravity that assimilates the conformal analysis of gravitational degrees of freedom. The work is motivated by the problem of time in quantum gravity and is carried out at the metric and the triad levels. At the metric level, it is shown that by extending the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) phase space of general relativity (GR), a conformal ...
متن کاملEigenvalues of the volume operator in loop quantum gravity
We present a simple method to calculate certain sums of the eigenvalues of the volume operator in loop quantum gravity. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues in the classical limit of very large spins which turns out to be of a very simple form. The results can be useful for example in the statistical approach to quantum gravity.
