Coherent states in quantum gravity: a construction based on the flux representation of LQG

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-05-30 v2

Abstract

As part of a wider study of coherent states in (loop) quantum gravity, we introduce a modification to the standard construction, based on the recently introduced (non-commutative) flux representation. The resulting quantum states have some welcomed features, in particular concerning peakedness properties, when compared to other coherent states in the literature.
