On the gauge reduction with respect to simplicity constraint in all dimensional loop quantum gravity
arXiv:2209.01955 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.107.046022
Abstract
In this paper, we are going to discuss the gauge reduction with respect to the simplicity constraint in both classical and quantum theory of all dimensional loop quantum gravity. With the gauge reduction with respect to edge-simplicity constraint being proceeded and the anomalous vertex simplicity constraint being imposed weakly in holonomy-flux phase space, the simplicity reduced holonomy can be established. However, we find that the simplicity reduced holonomy can not capture the degrees of freedom of intrinsic curvature, which leads that it fails to construct a correct scalar constraint operator in all dimensional LQG following the standard strategy. To tackle this problem, we establish a new type of holonomy corresponding to the simplicity reduced connection, which captures the degrees of freedom of both intrinsic and extrinsic curvature properly. Based on this new type of holonomy, we propose three new strategies to construct the scalar constraint operators, which serve as valuable candidates to study the dynamics of all dimensional LQG in the future.
