The weaving of curved geometries

Abstract

In the physical interpretation of states in non-perturbative loop quantum gravity the so-called weave states play an important role. Until now only weaves representing flat geometries have been introduced explicitly. In this paper the construction of weaves for non-flat geometries is described; in particular, weaves representing the Schwarzschild solution are constructed.
