Algebraic quantum gravity (AQG): III. Semiclassical perturbation theory
@article{Giesel2006AlgebraicQG, title={Algebraic quantum gravity (AQG): III. Semiclassical perturbation theory}, author={Kristina Giesel and Thomas Thiemann}, journal={Classical and Quantum Gravity}, year={2006}, volume={24}, pages={2565-2588} }
In the two previous papers of this series we defined a new combinatorical approach to quantum gravity, Algebraic Quantum Gravity (AQG). We showed that AQG reproduces the correct infinitesimal dynamics in the semiclassical limit, provided one incorrectly substitutes the non – Abelean group SU(2) by the Abelean group U(1) 3 in the calculations. The mere reason why that substitution was performed at all is that in the non – Abelean case the volume operator, pivotal for the definition of the…
