Recently the Master Constraint Programme (MCP) for Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) was launched which replaces the infinite number of Hamiltonian constraints by a single Master constraint. The MCP is designed to overcome the complications associated with the non -- Lie -- algebra structure of the Dirac algebra of Hamiltonian constraints and was successfully tested in various field theory models. For the case of 3+1 gravity itself, so far only a positive quadratic form for the Master Constraint Operator was derived. In this paper we close this gap and prove that the quadratic form is closable and thus stems from a unique self -- adjoint Master Constraint Operator. The proof rests on a simple feature of the general pattern according to which Hamiltonian constraints in LQG are constructed and thus extends to arbitrary matter coupling and holds for any metric signature. With this result the existence of a physical Hilbert space for LQG is established by standard spectral analysis.

Hamiltonian renormalisation IX. U(1)**3 quantum gravity
For the U(1)^3 toy model, the Hamiltonian renormalisation flow built from Narnhofer-Thirring or Fock inputs has fixed points that coincide with the previously known exact continuum solutions, with explicit convergence...

Deep learning spinfoam vertex amplitudes: the Euclidean Barrett-Crane model
A proof-of-principle that simple neural networks can learn Euclidean Barrett-Crane 10j vertex amplitudes: classification generalizes to higher cutoffs, regression works only within the trained low-spin domain.

Geometrical Quantum Time in the $U(1)^3$ Model of Euclidean Quantum Gravity
In the U(1)^3 toy model of loop quantum gravity, the authors rearrange the quantum Hamiltonian constraint into a discrete evolution equation and, via a questionable continuum limit, a Schrödinger-like equation with a ...
