A quantum hamiltonian which evolves the gravitational field according to time as measured by constant surfaces of a scalar field is defined through a regularization procedure based on the loop representation, and is shown to be finite and diffeomorphism invariant. The problem of constructing this hamiltonian is reduced to a combinatorial and algebraic problem which involves the rearrangements of lines through the vertices of arbitrary graphs. This procedure also provides a construction of the hamiltonian constraint as a finite operator on the space of diffeomorphism invariant states as well as a construction of the operator corresponding to the spatial volume of the universe.

  1. Relational Observables in Group Field Theory

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    POVM-based conditioning on scalar-field quantum reference frames defines relational observables in group field theory that match prior number and volume results on coherent states.

  2. On the dynamics of single-vertex states in quantum-reduced loop gravity

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Hamiltonian of single-vertex states in quantum-reduced loop gravity formally matches Bianchi I loop quantum cosmology, and an analogy suggests adding a non-trivial Lorentzian curvature term to the cosmology Hamiltonian.

  3. Lessons for loop quantum gravity from emergent modified gravity

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Emergent modified gravity rules out most proposed loop quantum gravity black-hole models and shows that mu0 and mu-bar holonomy schemes are canonically equivalent, so they are not physically distinct.
