Abstract
We advocate an alternative description of canonical gravity in 3+1 dimensions, obtained by using as the basic variable a real variant of the usual Ashtekar connection variables on the spatial three-manifold. With this ansatz, no non-trivial reality conditions have to be solved, and the Hamiltonian constraint, though non-polynomial, can be quantized rigorously in a lattice regularization.
