Spinor representation of the Hamiltonian constraint in 3D loop quantum gravity with a nonzero cosmological constant
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We develop in a companion paper the kinematics of three-dimensional loop quantum gravity in Euclidean signature and with a negative cosmological constant, focusing in particular on the spinorial representation that is well known at zero cosmological constant. In this paper, we put this formalism to the test by quantizing the Hamiltonian constraint on the dual of a triangulation. The Hamiltonian constraints are obtained by projecting the flatness constraints onto spinors, as done in the flat case by the first author and Livine. Quantization then relies on $q$-deformed spinors. The quantum Hamiltonian constraint acts in the $q$-deformed spin network basis as difference equations on physical states, which are thus the Wheeler-DeWitt equations in this framework. Moreover, we study how physical states transform under Pachner moves of the canonical surface. We find that those transformations are in fact $q$ deformations of the transition amplitudes of the flat case as found by Noui and Perez. Our quantum Hamiltonian constraints, therefore, build a Turaev-Viro model at real $q$.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
