Coherent States for Canonical Quantum General Relativity and the Infinite Tensor Product Extension
نویسندگان
چکیده
We summarize a recently proposed concrete programme for investigating the (semi)classical limit of canonical, Lorentzian, continuum quantum general relativity in four spacetime dimensions. The analysis is based on a novel set of coherent states labelled by graphs. These fit neatly together with an Infinite Tensor Product (ITP) extension of the currently used Hilbert space. The ITP construction enables us to give rigorous meaning to the infinite volume (thermodynamic) limit of the theory which has been out of reach so far.

Infinite Tensor Product and Thermodynamical Limit
In the canonical approach to Lorentzian Quantum General Relativity in four spacetime dimensions an important step forward has been made by Ashtekar, Isham and Lewandowski some eight years ago through the introduction of a Hilbert space structure which was later proved to be a faithful representation of the canonical commutation and adjointness relations of the quantum field algebra of diffeomor...
متن کاملCoherent States for Black Holes
We determine coherent states peaked at classical space-time of the Schwarzschild black hole in the frame-work of canonical quantisation of general relativity. The information about the horizon is naturally encoded in the phase space variables, and the perturbative quantum fluctuations around the classical geometry depend on the distance from the horizon. For small black holes, space near the vi...
متن کاملLinearized Quantum Gravity Using the Projection Operator Formalism
The theory of linearized general relativity is quantized using the projection operator formalism, in which no gauge choices are made. The result of this exercise is the construction of a separable, reproducing kernel for the physical Hilbert space using coherent states. The work is then compared with legacy canonical quantum gravity results.
متن کاملAlgebraic Quantum Gravity (aqg) I. Conceptual Setup
We introduce a new top down approach to canonical quantum gravity, called Algebraic Quantum Gravity (AQG): The quantum kinematics of AQG is determined by an abstract * −algebra generated by a countable set of elementary operators labelled by an algebraic graph. The quantum dynamics of AQG is governed by a single Master Constraint operator. While AQG is inspired by Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), it...
متن کاملPositive Cone in $p$-Operator Projective Tensor Product of Fig`a-Talamanca-Herz Algebras
In this paper we define an order structure on the $p$-operator projective tensor product of Herz algebras and we show that the canonical isometric isomorphism between $A_p(Gtimes H)$ and $A_p(G)widehat{otimes}^p A_p(H)$ is an order isomorphism for amenable groups $G$ and $H$.
