Scientific paper

(This short article is a continuation of a longer, review work, in the same volume of Proceedings, by Ashtekar, Marolf and Mour\~ao [gr-qc/9403042]. All the details and other results are to be found in joint papers of the author with Abhay Ashtekar.) The projective limit technics derived for spaces of connections are extended to a new framework which for the associated projective limit plays a role of the differential geometry. It provides us with powerfull technics for construction and studding various operators. In particular, we introduce the commutator algebra of `vector fields', define a divergence of a vector field and find for them a quantum representation. Among the vector fields, there are operators which we identify as regularised Rovelli-Smolin loop operators linear in momenta. Another class of operators which comes out naturally are Laplace operators.
