Seminar Abstracts

Symmetries in LQG
Maximilian Hanusch, Oct 19
We will discuss, how symmetry reduction in LQG can be done by means of spectral extensions of group actions. Then, we will show, how measures on the reduced configuration spaces can be constructed by means of a classification of analytic curves w.r.t. their symmetry under a given analytic Lie group action.
