Abstract

In this paper we research all possible finite-dimensional representations and corresponding values of the Barbero-Immirzi parameter contained in EPRL simplicity constraints by using Naimark's fundamental theorem of the Lorentz group representation theory. It turns out that for each non-zero pure imaginary with rational modulus value of the Barbero-Immirzi parameter γ=ipq,p,qZ,p,q0\gamma = i \frac{p}{q}, p, q \in Z, p, q \ne 0, there is a solution of the simplicity constraints, such that the corresponding Lorentz representation is finite dimensional. The converse is also true - for each finite-dimensional Lorentz representation solution of the simplicity constraints (n,ρ)(n, \rho), the associated Barbero-Immirzi parameter is non-zero pure imaginary with rational modulus, γ=ipq,p,qZ,p,q0\gamma = i \frac{p}{q}, p, q \in Z, p, q \ne 0. We solve the simplicity constraints with respect to the Barbero-Immirzi parameter and then use Naimark's fundamental theorem of the Lorentz group representations to find all finite-dimensional representations contained in the solutions.
