We continue here the analysis of the previous paper of the Wheeler-DeWitt constraint operator for four-dimensional, Lorentzian, non-perturbative, canonical vacuum quantum gravity in the continuum. In this paper we derive the complete kernel, as well as a physical inner product on it, for a non-symmetric version of the Wheeler-DeWitt operator. We then define a symmetric version of the Wheeler-DeWitt operator. For the Euclidean Wheeler-DeWitt operator as well as for the generator of the Wick transform from the Euclidean to the Lorentzian regime we prove existence of self-adjoint extensions and based on these we present a method of proof of self-adjoint extensions for the Lorentzian operator. Finally we comment on the status of the Wick rotation transform in the light of the present results.

  1. A matrix free action of the Ashtekar-Lewandowski volume operator of loop quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Develops a matrix-free SRQ-based action for the AL volume operator that exactly preserves the kernel and supports large-scale Monte Carlo and spectral estimates without dense matrices.

  2. Asymmetric Quantum Oppenheimer-Snyder Collapse

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Asymmetric loop-quantum-cosmology collapse of a dust ball yields a geodesically complete, bouncing regular black hole spacetime with a C^0 shock at the dust surface and two joined vacuum geometries.
