The Length operator in Loop Quantum Gravity
Spectra of geometric operators in three-dimensional loop quantum gravity: From discrete to continuous
We study and compare the spectra of geometric operators (length and area) in the quantum kinematics of two formulations of three-dimensional Lorentzian loop quantum gravity. In the SU(2)…
New length operator for loop quantum gravity
An alternative expression for the length operator in loop quantum gravity is presented. The operator is background independent, symmetric, positive semidefinite, and well defined on the kinematical…
Algebraic 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…
ul 2 00 5 Consistency Check on Volume and Triad Operator Quantisation in Loop Quantum Gravity
The volume operator plays a pivotal role for the quantum dynamics of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). It is essential in order to construct Triad operators that enter the Hamiltonian constraint and which…
Consistency check on the fundamental and alternative flux operators in loop quantum gravity
There are different constructions of the flux of triad in loop quantum gravity, namely the fundamental and alternative flux operators. In parallel to the consistency check on the two versions of…
Graphical method in loop quantum gravity: I. Derivation of the closed formula for the matrix element of the volume operator
To adopt a practical method to calculate the action of geometrical operators on quantum states is a crucial task in loop quantum gravity. In the series of papers, we will introduce a graphical…
Semiclassical analysis of the Loop Quantum Gravity volume operator. I. Flux Coherent States
We continue the semiclassical analysis of the Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) volume operator that was started in the companion paper [23]. In the first paper we prepared the technical tools, in…

The volume operator plays a pivotal role for the quantum dynamics of loop quantum gravity (LQG). It is essential to construct triad operators that enter the Hamiltonian constraint and which become…
Review on hermiticity of the volume operators in Loop Quantum Gravity
The aim of this article is to provide rigorous-but-simple steps to prove the hermiticity of the volume operator of Rovelli–Smolin and Ashtekar–Lewandowski from the angular momentum calculation, as…
