Description
We consider the coupling between massive and spinning particles and
three dimensional gravity. This allows us to construct geometric
operators (distances between particles) as Dirac observables. We
quantize the system à la loop quantum gravity: we give a
description of the kinematical Hilbert space and construct the
associated spin-foam model. We quantize the physical distance operator
and compute its spectrum.
