The canonical structure of supergravity with a cosmological constant is analyzed in 2 + 1 dimensions using the Dirac constraint formalism. The first class constraints are used to find two Bosonic and one Fermionic gauge symmetries that…

We discuss the canonical treatment and quantization of matter coupled supergravity in three dimensions, with special emphasis on $N=2$ supergravity. We then analyze the quantum constraint algebra; certain operator ordering ambiguities are…

This article presents the result that fluctuations and higher moments of a state do not imply quantum corrections in structure functions of constrained systems. Consequences for canonical quantum gravity, whose structure functions encode…

Certain operator algebras A on a Hilbert space have the property that every densely defined linear transformation commuting with A is closable. Such algebras are said to have the closability property. They are important in the study of the…

In this paper we demonstrate closure of the quantum algebra of Hamiltonian constraints in a theory directly related to a certain sector of general relativity reduced to diagonal variables.

The first class constraints in N = 1 supergravity in 2 + 1 dimensions are used to construct a generator of three gauge symmetries (including a local supersymmetry) that leave the action invariant. The algebra of these symmetries closes.…

In this paper, the classical and quantum theory of $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity in four spacetime dimensions will be studied in the framework of loop quantum gravity. We discuss the canonical analysis of the supergravity Holst action as…

Although an important issue in canonical quantization, the problem of representing the constraint algebra in the loop representation of quantum gravity has received little attention. The only explicit computation was performed by Gambini,…

We focus on N = 3 chiral supergravity (SUGRA) which is the lowest N theory involving a spin-1/2 field, and derive the Ashtekar's canonical formulation of N = 3 SUGRA starting with the chiral Lagrangian constructed by closely following the…

The canonical formalism of the (2+2) formulation of general relativity of 4 spacetime dimensions is studied under no symmetry assumptions, where the spacetime is viewed as a local product of a 2 dimensional base manifold of Lorentzian…

We generalize to arbitrary dimension the construction of a covariant and supersymmetric constraint for the massless superPoincare algebra, which was given for the eleven-dimensional case in a previous work. We also contrast it with a…

We formulate classical actions for N=1 supergravity in D=(1,3) as a gauge theory of OSp(1|4). One may choose the action such that it does not include a cosmological term.

We identify the quantum algebra of position and momentum operators for a quantum system bearing an irreducible representation of the super Poincare algebra in the N>1 and D=4 superspace both in the case where there are not central charges…

The pseudo--rigid body represents an example of a constrained system with a nonunimodular gauge group. This system is treated along the guidelines of an algebraic constraint quantization scheme which focusses on observable quantities,…

We study possibilities for algebraic closures, differences between definable and algebraic closures in first-order structures, and variations of these closures with respect to the bounds of cardinalities of definable sets and given sets of…

The theory of canonical linearized gravity is quantized using the Projection Operator formalism, in which no gauge or coordinate choices are made. The ADM Hamiltonian is used and the canonical variables and constraints are expanded around a…

We consider the formulation of the gravity theory first suggested by Regge and Teitelboim where the space-time is a four-dimensional surface in a flat ten-dimensional space. We investigate a canonical formalism for this theory following the…

Quadratic algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras; they include the symmetry algebras of 2nd order superintegrable systems in 2 dimensions as special cases. The superintegrable systems are exactly solvable physical systems in classical…

The structure of classical non-linear $\cw$ algebras closing on rational functions is analyzed both for the ordinary and the supersymmetric case. Such algebras appear as a result of a coset construction. Their relevance to physical…
