The abstract, sentence by sentence

The improved lattice regularization method of the Ashtekar connection holonomy representation in loop quantum gravity is described in this article. The approach is based on the geometric expansion of holonomies into power series up to the quadratic order terms in the regularization parameter. As a result, a more accurate procedure than the currently established approach to the canonical lattice quantization of gravity is obtained. Moreover, if holonomies are defined along linear links, this procedure becomes exact. Furthermore, in the improved method, the symmetry of holonomies assigned to links is directly reflected in the related distribution of connections. Finally, the domain of the lattice-regularized Hamiltonian constraint takes a natural structure of elementary cells sum. Consequently, under certain restrictions, the related scalar constraint operator, which spectrum is independent of intertwiners, can be defined.

The paper

Original abstract

The improved lattice regularization method of the Ashtekar connection holonomy representation in loop quantum gravity is described in this article. The approach is based on the geometric expansion of holonomies into power series up to the quadratic order terms in the regularization parameter. As a result, a more accurate procedure than the currently established approach to the canonical lattice quantization of gravity is obtained. Moreover, if holonomies are defined along linear links, this procedure becomes exact. Furthermore, in the improved method, the symmetry of holonomies assigned to links is directly reflected in the related distribution of connections. Finally, the domain of the lattice-regularized Hamiltonian constraint takes a natural structure of elementary cells sum. Consequently, under certain restrictions, the related scalar constraint operator, which spectrum is independent of intertwiners, can be defined.

Then, the change of variables into operators should preserve the relative orientations and positions of these objects, accordingly to all the frames indicated in a theory (this is not properly implemented in the original canonical formulation of LQG [ref] , cf. [ref] ).

By expansion of the holonomy around a triangular loop, [equation] one can formulate a significantly different relation than the one in [ref], [equation] One could presume that perhaps this difference was the reason behind formulating the original regularization of LQG [ref] in the way involving the terms up to the order $ε^2$ in expression [ref] but only up to the order $ε$ in formula [ref].
