What Are the Insights of 2D Physics and Loop Variables in Loop Quantum Gravity?

I'm looking for some simple articles on 2D physics, Wilson loops, loop variables and similar. The purpose is to gain insights in LQG using lower dimensions.

Thanks for your help

Do you mean 1+1 or 2+1 spacetime dimensions?
 
1+1 or 2+1. My focus is more on simplicity (i.e. manageable examples of loop technology) rather than a particular spacetime. If a toroidal space would make everything more simple then I'd be happy, if it's more a 2D lattice I'd consider that.
Maybe I could rephrase it as: is there a toy-model to play with rather than the full 4D spacetime?
 
The article is rather compact but the references therein are certainly useful. Thank you for your help!
 

Thread 'The "electroweak eta meson"'

This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...

Thread 'Is Gravi-GUT a candidate theory of everything?'

this thread is to open up discussion on Gravi-GUT as theories of everything GUT or Grand Unified Theories attempt to unify the 3 forces of weak E&M and strong force, and Gravi-GUT want to add gravity. this peer reviewed paper in a journal on Gravi-GUT Chirality in unified theories of gravity F. Nesti1 and R. Percacci2 Phys. Rev. D 81, 025010 – Published 14 January, 2010 published by Physical Review D this paper is cited by another more recent Gravi-GUT these papers and research...

Thread 'Black to white transition in LQC'

In LQG and LQC there are solutions called "black to white transition". I'll add some references: (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.07251 (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.03872 (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.06330 (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.04264 (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12823 https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.02691 https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.07589 https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.01788 https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.12646 https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.03027...
