abstract

The loop quantization of Brans-Dicke theory (with coupling parameter $\omega\neq-3/2$) is studied. In the geometry-dynamical formalism, the canonical structure and constraint algebra of this theory are similar to those of general relativity coupled with a scalar field. The connection dynamical formalism of the Brans-Dicke theory with real $su(2)$-connections as configuration variables is obtained by canonical transformations. The quantum kinematical Hilbert space of Brans-Dicke theory is constituted as of that loop quantum gravity coupled with a polymer-like scalar field. The Hamiltonian constraint is promoted as a well defined operator to represent quantum dynamics. This formalism enable us to extend the scheme of non-perturbative loop quantum gravity to the Brans-Dicke theory.

  1. Canonical Clock Sectors and Relational Frame Equivalence in Brans--Dicke Theory

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Apparent Jordan–Einstein inequivalence after relational deparametrization is a clock-sector mismatch; a frame-adapted canonical chart restores identical reduced Hamiltonians.

  2. Consistency check on the fundamental and alternative flux operators in loop quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A graphical consistency check between the fundamental and alternative flux operators in loop quantum gravity fixes the volume-operator constant κ_reg to 1/2.
