We provide a complete quantization for the Gowdy model with local rotational symmetry in vacuum. We start with a redefinition of the classical constraint algebra such that the Hamiltonian constraint has a vanishing Poisson bracket with…

The loop quantization of 3d gravity consists in defining the Hilbert space of states satisfying the Gau{\ss} constraint and the flatness constraint. The Gau{\ss} constraint is enforced at the kinematical level by introducing spin networks…

We describe fundamental equations which define the topological ground states in the lattice realization of the SU(2) BF phase. We introduce a new scalar Hamiltonian, based on recent works in quantum gravity and topological models, which is…

Loop quantum gravity, a non-perturbative and manifestly background free, quantum theory of gravity implies that at the kinematical level the spatial geometry is discrete in a specific sense. The spirit of background independence also…

We present a formalism for simulating quantum dynamics of lattice spin-one systems by first introducing local hidden variables and then doing semiclassical (truncated Wigner) approximation in the extended phase space. In this way we exactly…
