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, Abelian or non-Abelian, with or without structure functions.

Testing the Master Constraint Programme for Loop Quantum Gravity I. General Framework
TLDR
It is shown that the master constraint programme has a wide range of applicability but that there are many, physically interesting subtleties that must be taken care of in doing so.
A path integral for the master constraint of loop quantum gravity
In the present paper, we start from the canonical theory of loop quantum gravity and the master constraint program. The physical inner product is expressed by using the group averaging technique for…
Lessons from toy-models for the dynamics of loop quantum gravity
We review some approaches to the Hamiltonian dynamics of (loop) quantum gravity, the main issues being the regularization of the Hamiltonian and the continuum limit. First, Thiemann's definition of…

Consistency Check on Volume and Triad Operator Quantisation in Loop Quantum Gravity II
In this paper, we provide the techniques and proofs for the results presented in our companion paper concerning the consistency check on volume and triad operator quantization in loop quantum gravity.
Loop quantum gravity - a short review
In this article we review the foundations and the present status of loop quantum gravity. It is short and relatively non-technical, the emphasis is on the ideas, and the flavor of the techniques. In…

Recently the master constraint programme (MCP) for loop quantum gravity (LQG) was launched which replaces the infinite number of Hamiltonian constraints by a single master constraint. The MCP is…
