Non Polynomial Hamiltonian Constraint

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the non-polynomial nature of the Hamiltonian Constraint in loop quantum gravity, specifically questioning whether the root(det(q)) term contributes to this non-polynomiality. It highlights the motivation behind Ashtekar Variables, which aim to eliminate non-polynomial terms by substituting the traditional Hamiltonian with a densitized Hamiltonian. Participants suggest exploring the "Beyond the Standard Model" forum for further inquiries related to loop quantum gravity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Hamiltonian mechanics
  • Familiarity with loop quantum gravity concepts
  • Knowledge of Ashtekar Variables

1. Is the root(det(q)) term in the Hamiltonian Constraint what makes it non polynomial
2. Is the motivation for Ashtekar Variables to remove the non polynomial terms by replacing the Hamiltonian with a densitised Hamiltonian
