Second quantization in ashtekar variable

In summary, the conversation is about searching for material on second quantization in Ashtekar-like formulation gravity. The person suggests looking into loop quantum gravity instead, and the other person asks about its relation to first quantization. A resource is then recommended that uses Ashketar Variables in the Kodoma State for a solution to quantum gravity, which is a quantum field theory that does not contain a notion of gravitons.

I am searching material in second quantization in ashtekar-like formulation gravity.
Somebody knows something like that?
thanks

Are you familiar with loop quantum gravity? If not, this is probably what you should search instead.

what i can understand is that lqg is a first quantization theory, isn't it?

No, it is a quantum field theory. However, this method of quantization does not contain a notion of gravitons, so you may say that this quantum field theory cannot be viewed as a second quantization of gravitons, but only as a first quantization of gravitational fields.
 

Related to Second quantization in ashtekar variable

1. What is second quantization in Ashtekar variable?

Second quantization in Ashtekar variable is a mathematical framework used in quantum field theory to describe the quantization of systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom, such as a field. It is based on the Ashtekar variable, which is an alternative form of the canonical variables used in classical mechanics.

2. How is second quantization in Ashtekar variable different from other quantization methods?

Second quantization in Ashtekar variable differs from other quantization methods because it takes into account the intrinsic properties of the field, such as its gauge invariance and the constraints it must satisfy. This allows for a more accurate and consistent quantization of the field, especially in the case of quantum gravity.

3. What is the significance of using Ashtekar variable in second quantization?

The use of Ashtekar variable in second quantization is significant because it allows for a better understanding of the underlying structure of the field. It also enables the formulation of a quantum theory of gravity, as the Ashtekar variable is a key component in loop quantum gravity, a leading theory of quantum gravity.

4. Can second quantization in Ashtekar variable be applied to any field?

Yes, second quantization in Ashtekar variable can be applied to any field that can be described using canonical variables. This includes fields in quantum electrodynamics, quantum chromodynamics, and other quantum field theories.

5. What are some potential applications of second quantization in Ashtekar variable?

Some potential applications of second quantization in Ashtekar variable include the study of quantum gravity, cosmology, and black holes. It can also be used to investigate the behavior of matter at high energies and densities, such as in the early universe or in extreme astrophysical environments.
