Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) is a promising approach to quantum gravity, in particular because it is based on a rigorous quantization of the kinematics of gravity. A difficult and still open problem in the LQG program is the construction of…
On the background of the Born-Oppenheimer (adiabatic) approximation, we investigate the geometrical and topological structure in the theory of quantum gravity by using the path integral method and halfclassical approximation. As we know,…
The Gauss constraint in the extended loop representation for quantum gravity is studied. It is shown that there exists a sector of the state space that is rigorously gauge invariant without the generic convergence issues of the extended…
