Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization of space
We introduce semiclassical methods into the study of the volume spectrum in loop gravity. The classical system behind a 4-valent spin network node is a Euclidean tetrahedron. We investigate the tetrahedral volume dynamics on phase space and apply Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization to find the volume spectrum. The analysis shows a remarkable …
