The closure constraint for the hyperbolic tetrahedron as a Bianchi identity
Christoph Charles, Etera R. Livine
The closure constraint is a central piece of the mathematics of loop quantum gravity. It encodes the gauge invariance of the spin network states of quantum geometry and provides th…

The Fock Space of Loopy Spin Networks for Quantum Gravity
Christoph Charles, Etera R. Livine
In the context of the coarse-graining of loop quantum gravity, we introduce loopy and tagged spin networks, which generalize the standard spin network states to account explicitly…
