Quantizing Regge calculus
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: A discretized version of canonical gravity in (3+1)-d introduced in a previous paper is further developed, introducing the Liouville form and the Poisson brackets, and studying them in detail in an explicit parametrization that shows the nature of the variables when the second class constraints are imposed. It is then shown that, even leaving aside the difficult question of imposing the first class constraints on the states, it is impossible to quantize the model directly, using complex variables and leaving the second class constraints to fix the metric of the quantum Hilbert, because one cannot find a metric which makes the area variables hermitean.
