A covariant polymerized scalar field in semi-classical loop quantum gravity

Gambini, Rodolfo H. - Benítez Martínez, Florencia - Pullin, Jorge

Resumen:

We propose a new polymerization scheme for scalar fields coupled to gravity. It has the advantage of being a (non-bijective) canonical transformation of the fields, and therefore ensures the covariance of the theory. We study it in detail in spherically symmetric situations and compare to other approaches.
