dc.descriptionWe investigate up to which extend the kinematic setting of loop quantum gravity can be fit into a diffeomorphism invariant setting of algebraic QFT generalizing the Haag-Kastler setting of Wightman type QFT. The net of local (Weyl-)algebras resulting from a spin network state of quantum geometry immediately accommodates isotony and diffeomorphism covariance, and formulation of causality becomes possible via of diffeomorphism invariant foliations of the underlying manifold by cones. On a spatial horizon, quantum geometry becomes asymptotically a genuine QFT with infinitely many degrees of freedom, if the cylinder functions' supporting graphs intersect the inner boundary spheres in an infinite number of punctures.
