On the Classical Limit of Spin Network Gravity: Two Conjectures
Abstract
Description
Estimates are given of the time scales which govern spreading of a coherent state wave packet. The estimates, based on dimensional analysis, suggest that spreading should be small for coherent states with average angular momentum of order 100 or larger. It is conjectured that in the classical limit, terms in the Hamiltonian which add a new vertex will be suppressed, compared to terms which modify the existing spin network without changing the number of vertices.
