An anomaly-free operator corresponding to the Wheeler-DeWitt constraint of Lorentzian, four-dimensional, canonical, non-perturbative vacuum gravity is constructed in the continuum. This operator is entirely free of factor ordering singularities and can be defined in symmetric and non-symmetric form. We work in the real connection representation and obtain a well-defined quantum theory. We compute the complete solution to the Quantum Einstein Equations for the non-symmetric version of the operator and a physical inner product thereon. The action of the Wheeler-DeWitt constraint on spin-network states is by annihilating, creating and rerouting the quanta of angular momentum associated with the edges of the underlying graph while the ADM-energy is essentially diagonalized by the spin-network states. We argue that the spin-network representation is the ``non-linear Fock representation" of quantum gravity, thus justifying the term ``Quantum Spin Dynamics (QSD)".

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In unimodular loop quantum cosmology, an α-attractor potential allows a potential-energy-dominated bounce at the Planck scale that is consistent with CMB observations and may show quantum-gravity imprints.

  4. Effective dynamics of a homogeneous and isotropic universe with quantum curvature

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new LQC model with an added curvature term produces a quantum bounce that resolves the singularity at lower volume than standard LQC while preserving symmetric effective dynamics.
