Three dimensional loop quantum gravity: physical scalar product and spin foam models
In this paper, we address the problem of the dynamics in three dimensional loop quantum gravity with zero cosmological constant. We construct a rigorous definition of Rovelli’s generalized projection operator from the kinematical Hilbert space—corresponding to the quantization of the infinite dimensional kinematical configuration space of the theory—to the physical Hilbert space. In particular,...
متن کاملCanonical “Loop” Quantum Gravity and Spin Foam Models
The canonical “loop” formulation of quantum gravity is a mathematically well defined, background independent, non perturbative standard quantization of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. Some among the most meaningful results of the theory are: 1) the complete calculation of the spectrum of geometric quantities like the area and the volume and the consequent physical predictions about the...
متن کاملSpin Foam Perturbation Theory for Three-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
We formulate the spin foam perturbation theory for three-dimensional Euclidean Quantum Gravity with a cosmological constant. We analyse the perturbative expansion of the partition function in the dilute-gas limit and we argue that the Baez conjecture stating that the number of possible distinct topological classes of perturbative configurations is finite for the set of all triangulations of a m...
متن کاملDynamics of Loop Quantum Gravity and Spin Foam Models in Three Dimensions
The goal of the spin foam approach 1 is to construct a mathematically well defined notion of path integral for non-perturbative quantum GR as a devise for computing the ‘dynamics’ of the theory. By ‘dynamics’ here we mean the characterization of the kernel of the quantum constraints given by the representation of the classical constraints in connection variables, schematically, Gi = DaE a i , V...
متن کاملSpin Foam Models for Quantum Gravity
In this article we review the present status of the spin foam formulation of nonperturbative (background independent) quantum gravity. The article is divided in two parts. In the first part we present a general introduction to the main ideas emphasizing their motivation from various perspectives. Riemannian 3-dimensional gravity is used as a simple example to illustrate conceptual issues and ma...
