Continuously distributed holonomy-flux algebra

The procedure of the holonomy-flux algebra construction along a piecewise linear path, which consists of a countably infinite number of pieces, is described in this article. The related construction approximates the continuous distribution of the holonomy-flux algebra location along a smooth link arbitrarily well. The presented method requires the densitized dreibein flux and the corresponding operator redefinition. The derived result allows to formulate the gravitational Hamiltonian constraint regularization by applying the Thiemann technique adjusted to a piecewise linear lattice. By using the improved Ashtekar connection holonomy representation, which is more accurate than the one used in canonical loop quantum gravity, the corrections related to the redefined densitized dreibein flux vanish. In this latter case, the Poisson brackets of the continuously distributed holonomy-flux algebra along a link between a pair of nodes are equal to the brackets for these smeared variables located at the nodes.
