Separable Hilbert space in Loop Quantum Gravity
We study the separability of the state space of loop quantum gravity. In the standard construction, the kinematical Hilbert space of the diffeomorphism-invariant states is nonseparable. This is a consequence of the fact that the knot-space of the equivalence classes of graphs under diffeomorphisms is noncountable. However, the continuous moduli labeling these classes do not appear to affect the...
متن کاملHilbert space structure of covariant loop quantum gravity
We investigate the Hilbert space in the Lorentz covariant approach to loop quantum gravity. We restrict ourselves to the space where all area operators are simultaneously diagonalizable, assuming that it exists. In this sector quantum states are realized by a generalization of spin network states based on Lorentz Wilson lines projected on irreducible representations of an SO(3) subgroup. The pr...
متن کاملThe Hilbert Space of Quantum Gravity Is Locally Finite-Dimensional
We argue in a model-independent way that the Hilbert space of quantum gravity is locally finite-dimensional. In other words, the density operator describing the state corresponding to a small region of space, when such a notion makes sense, is defined on a finite-dimensional factor of a larger Hilbert space. Because quantum gravity potentially describes superpositions of different geometries, i...

متن کاملOne-loop quantum gravity in Schwarzschild space-time.
The quantum theory of linearized perturbations of the gravitational field of a Schwarzschild black hole is presented. The fundamental operators are seen to be the perturbed Weyl scalars Ψ̇0 and Ψ̇4 associated with the NewmanPenrose description of the classical theory. Formulae are obtained for the expectation values of the modulus squared of these operators in the Boulware, Unruh and Hartle-Hawki...
