On the regularization of the constraints algebra of Quantum Gravity in 2+1 dimensions with non-vanishing cosmological constant

Abstract

We use the mathematical framework of loop quantum gravity (LQG) to study the quantization of three dimensional (Riemannian) gravity with positive cosmological constant (Lambda>0). We show that the usual regularization techniques (successful in the Lambda=0 case and widely applied in four dimensional LQG) lead to a deformation of the classical constraint algebra (or anomaly) proportional to the local strength of the curvature squared. We argue that this is an unavoidable consequence of the non-local nature of generalized connections.
