Testing the Master Constraint Programme for Loop Quantum Gravity IV. Free Field Theories

چکیده
This is the fourth paper in our series of five in which we test the Master Constraint Programme for solving the Hamiltonian constraint in Loop Quantum Gravity. We now move on to free field theories with constraints, namely Maxwell theory and linearized gravity. Since the Master constraint involves squares of constraint operator valued distributions, one has to be very careful in doing that and we will see that the full flexibility of the Master Constraint Programme must be exploited in order to arrive at sensible results.

Testing the Master Constraint Programme for Loop Quantum Gravity V. Interacting Field Theories
This is the final fifth paper in our series of five in which we test the Master Constraint Programme for solving the Hamiltonian constraint in Loop Quantum Gravity. Here we consider interacting quantum field theories, specifically we consider the non – Abelean Gauss constraints of Einstein – Yang – Mills theory and 2+1 gravity. Interestingly, while Yang – Mills theory in 4D is not yet rigorousl...
متن کاملTesting the Master Constraint Programme for Loop Quantum Gravity I. General Framework
Recently the Master Constraint Programme for Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) was proposed as a classically equivalent way to impose the infinite number of Wheeler – DeWitt constraint equations in terms of a single Master Equation. While the proposal has some promising abstract features, it was until now barely tested in known models. In this series of five papers we fill this gap, thereby adding con...
متن کاملTesting the Master Constraint Programme for Loop Quantum Gravity II. Finite Dimensional Systems
This is the second paper in our series of five in which we test the Master Constraint Programme for solving the Hamiltonian constraint in Loop Quantum Gravity. In this work we begin with the simplest examples: Finite dimensional models with a finite number of first or second class constraints, Abelean or non – Abelean, with or without structure functions.

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 کاملMaster Constraint Operators in Loop Quantum Gravity
We introduce a master constraint operator M̂ densely defined in the diffeomorphism invariant Hilbert space in loop quantum gravity, which corresponds classically to the master constraint in the programme. It is shown that M̂ is positive and symmetric, and hence has its Friedrichs self-adjoint extension. The same conclusion is tenable for an alternative master operator M̂′, whose quadratic form coi...
