Weaving a classical metric with quantum threads
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Results that illuminate the physical interpretation of states of nonperturbative quantum gravity are obtained using the recently introduced loop variables. It is shown that: i) While local operators such as the metric at a point may not be well-defined, there do exist {it non-local} operators, such as the area of a given 2-surface, which can be regulated diffeomorphism invariantly and which are finite {it without} renormalization; ii)there exist quantum states which approximate a given flat geometry at large scales, but such states exhibit a discrete structure at the Planck scale; iii) these results are tied together by the fact that the spectra of the operators that measure the areas of surfaces are quantized in integral units of the Planck area.
