Quantizing G-connections via the tangent groupoid

A description of the space of G-connections using the tangent groupoid is given. As the tangent groupoid parameter is away from zero, the G-connections act as convolution operators on a Hilbert space. The gauge action is examined in the tangent groupoid description of the G-connections. Tetrads are formulated as Dirac type operators. The connection variables and tetrad variables in Ashtekar's gravity are presented as operators on a Hilbert space.
