Quantum geometry II: the mathematics of loop quantum gravity—three-dimensional quantum gravity

نویسندگان

چکیده

Loop quantum gravity is a physical theory that aims at unifying general relativity and mechanics. It takes very seriously modifies it via quantisation. General describes in terms of geometry; therefore, quantising such must be equivalent to geometry what loop does. This sounds like mathematical task as well, thus, this paper we will present the mathematics gravity. We do from mathematician’s point view. intended an introduction for postgraduate students physics mathematics. In work restrict ourselves three-dimensional case.

Quantum Geometry from the Formalism of Loop Quantum Gravity

Introducing Quantum Geometry as a consequence of the quantisation procedure of loop quantum gravity. By recasting general relativity in terms of 1 2 -flat connections, specified by the Holst’s Modification to the Palatini action, we can recast general relativity as a gauge theory. By preforming a 3+1 split of space-time a Legendre transformation can be preformed to give an expression of the Ham...

Three Dimensional Loop Quantum Gravity: Particles and the Quantum Double

It is well known that the quantum double structure plays an important role in three dimensional quantum gravity coupled to matter field. In this paper, we show how this algebraic structure emerges in the context of three dimensional Riemannian loop quantum gravity (LQG) coupled to a finite number of massive spinless point particles. In LQG, physical states are usually constructed from the notio...

Quantum Geometry and Quantum Gravity

The purpose of this contribution is to give an introduction to quantum geometry and loop quantum gravity for a wide audience of both physicists and mathematicians. From a physical point of view the emphasis will be on conceptual issues concerning the relationship of the formalism with other more traditional approaches inspired in the treatment of the fundamental interactions in the standard mod...

Loop Quantum Gravity Vacuum with Nondegenerate Geometry

In loop quantum gravity, states of the gravitational field turn out to be excitations over a vacuum state that is sharply peaked on a degenerate spatial geometry. While this vacuum is singled out as fundamental due to its invariance properties, it is also important to consider states that describe non-degenerate geometries. Such states have features of Bose condensate ground states. We discuss ...

Quantum Dynamics of Loop Quantum Gravity

In the last 20 years, loop quantum gravity, a background independent approach to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics, has been widely investigated. The aim of loop quantum gravity is to construct a mathematically rigorous, background independent, nonperturbative quantum theory for the Lorentzian gravitational field on a four-dimensional manifold. In this approach, the principles of q...
