Abstract

The volume operator is an important kinematical quantity in the
non-perturbative approach to four-dimensional quantum gravity in the connection
formulation. We give a general algorithm for computing its spectrum when acting
on four-valent spin network states, evaluate some of the eigenvalue formulae
explicitly, and discuss the role played by the Mandelstam constraints.
