Lessons for Loop Quantum Gravity from Parametrised Field Theory
Thomas Thiemann
In a series of seminal papers, Laddha and Varadarajan have developed in depth the quantisation of Parametrised Field Theory (PFT) in the kind of discontinuous representations that…

Commuting Simplicity and Closure Constraints for 4D Spin Foam Models
Muxin Han, Thomas Thiemann
Spin Foam Models are supposed to be discretised path integrals for quantum gravity constructed from the Plebanski-Holst action. The reason for there being several models currently…

Abelian Chern-Simons theory, Stokes' theorem, and generalized connections
Hanno Sahlmann, Thomas Thiemann
Generalized connections and their calculus have been developed in the context of quantum gravity. Here we apply them to abelian Chern-Simons theory. We derive the expectation value…
