ABSTRACT

Dirac’s rule in which only special phase space variables should be promoted to operators in canonical quantization is applied to loop quantum gravity. For this theory, Dirac’s rule is violated, and as a result loop quantum gravity fails the test to be a valid quantization. Indications are included on how to create and deal with valid versions of quantum gravity.
