Abstract
Inspired by the long wave-length limit of topological M-theory, which re-constructs the theory of D gravity in the self-dual variables' formulation, we conjecture the existence of a duality between Hilbert spaces, the -duality, to unify topological M-theory and loop quantum gravity (LQG). By -duality non-trivial gravitational holonomies of the kinematical Hilbert space of LQG correspond to space-like M-branes. The spinfoam approach captures the non-perturbative dynamics of space-like M-branes, and can be claimed to be dual to the S-branes foam. The Hamiltonian constraint dealt with in LQG is reinterpreted as a quantum superposition of SM-brane nucleations and decays.
