Conjectured existence of complexifier-based semi-classical states

From papers

Let MM be the underlying 3-manifold, let HD(M)\mathbf{HD}(M) be the holonomy-diffeomorphism algebra, and let fFHD(M)fF\in\mathbf{HD}(M) have corresponding approximations \mathbbmfFn\mathbbm{fF}_n. Let ϕnt\phi_n^t be semi-classical states associated with a complexifier, let φ\varphi denote the representation, and let φA\varphi_A denote evaluation at a classical connection AA in the spinor state vv. For a sequence of vector fields Leina\mathcal{L}_{{\bf e}^a_{i_n}} associated with graphs Γn\Gamma_n and edges converging to xx, define the limiting electric-field observable by the expression in the requirements below.

Complexifier conjecture. There exists a choice of complexifier giving a sequence ϕt={ϕnt}\phi^t=\{\phi_n^t\} of semi-classical states satisfying

E(fF):=limnϕntφ(\mathbbmfFn)ϕnt<,\mathcal{E}(fF):=\lim_{n\to\infty}\langle\phi_n^t\mid\varphi(\mathbbm{fF}_n)\mid\phi_n^t\rangle<\infty, E(E^ma(x)):=limnϕntt22nLeinanϕnt<,\mathcal{E}(\hat E_m^a(x)):=\lim_{n\to\infty}\langle\phi_n^t\mid t2^{2n}\mathcal{L}_{{\bf e}^a_{i_n}}^n\mid\phi_n^t\rangle<\infty, limt0E(fF)=(v,φA(fF)v),limt0E(E^am(x))=iEam(x).\lim_{t\to0}\mathcal{E}(fF)=(v,\varphi_A(fF)v),\qquad \lim_{t\to0}\mathcal{E}(\hat E_a^m(x))=\mathrm{i}E_a^m(x).

These conditions encode the desired semiclassical limits for holonomy-diffeomorphism and electric-field observables. The paper states the existence as a conjecture and does not resolve it.
