On the relation between the connection and the loop representation of quantum gravity
Using Penrose binor calculus for () tensor expressions, a
graphical method for the connection representation of Euclidean Quantum Gravity
(real connection) is constructed. It is explicitly shown that: {\it (i)} the
recently proposed scalar product in the loop-representation coincide with the
Ashtekar-Lewandoski cylindrical measure in the space of connections; {\it (ii)}
it is possible to establish a correspondence between the operators in the
connection representation and those in the loop representation. The
construction is based on embedded spin network, the Penrose graphical method of
calculus, and the existence of a generalized measure on the space of
connections modulo gauge transformations.Comment: 19 pages, ioplppt.sty and epsfig.st
