The time periodic circuit theory is exploited to introduce an appropriate translation operator that is invariant under the change of the spatial unit cell. Useful properties of the operator are derived. By casting the problem in an…
In this article we introduce a new operator representing the three-dimensional scalar curvature in loop quantum gravity. Our construction does not apply to the entire kinematical Hilbert space of loop quantum gravity; instead, the operator…

The quantum dimensions of modules for vertex operator algebras are defined and their properties are discussed. The possible values of the quantum dimensions are obtained for rational vertex operator algebras. A criterion for simple currents…
In [arXiv:1411.3592] an extension of the Ashtekar-Lewandowski (AL) state space of Loop Quantum Gravity was set up with the help a projective formalism introduced by Kijowski [Kijowski 1977; see also: arXiv:1304.6330, arXiv:1411.3590]. The…
A detailed reexamination is made of the exact operator formalism of two-dimensional Liouville quantum gravity in Minkowski spacetime with the cosmological term fully taken into account. Making use of the canonical mapping from the…
We prove quantum ergodicity for certain orthonormal bases of $L^2(\mathbb{S}^2)$, consisting of joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on $\mathbb{S}^2$ and the discrete averaging operator over a finite set of rotations, generating a free…
We study quantum equivalents of non-commutative operators in quantum mechanics. Any matrix "$B$" satisfying the non-commuting relation $[A,B]\neq 0$ with "$A$", can be used via $B^{-1} AB$ to reproduce eigenvalues of "$A$". This…
Quantum estimation of the operators of a system is investigated by analyzing its Liouville space of operators. In this way it is possible to easily derive some general characterization for the sets of observables (i.e. the possible quorums)…
We extend the notions of quantum harmonic analysis, as introduced in R. Werner's paper from 1984 (J. Math. Phys. 25(5)), to abelian phase spaces, by which we mean a locally compact abelian group endowed with a Heisenberg multiplier. In this…
We show that the set of states of the Ashtekar-Isham-Lewandowski holonomy algebra defined by elements of the Ashtekar-Lewandowski Hilbert space is dense in the space of all states. We consider weak convergence properties of a modified…
This paper considers two frequently used matrix representations -- what we call the $\chi$- and $\mathcal{S}$-matrices -- of a quantum operation and their applications. The matrices defined with respect to an arbitrary operator basis, that…
The operator algebras of a new family of relativistic geometric models of the relativistic oscillator are studied. It is shown that, generally, the operator of number of quanta and the pair of the shift operators of each model are the…
We compute the complete spectrum of the area operator in the loop representation of quantum gravity, using recoupling theory. This result extends previous derivations, which did not include the ``degenerate'' sector, and agrees with the…
In loop quantum gravity, states of the gravitational field turn out to be excitations over a vacuum state that is sharply peaked on a degenerate spatial geometry. While this vacuum is singled out as fundamental due to its invariance…
We present a separable version of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) based on an inductive system of cubic lattices. We construct semi-classical states for which the LQG operators -- the flux, the area and the volume operators -- have the right…
