Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Using the Radon–Nikodym theorem concerning the relation between any two measures, as well as the methods employed in loop quantum gravity, it is shown that in gravitation one can quantize any measure which is not even associated with metric. We have considered the simplest case where the proportionality coefficient between two operators of measure (the Radon–Nikodym derivative) is some function. The result is that in the right-hand side of the commutation relations for the measure the fundamental length becomes a variable quantity, and this can lead to smoothing the singularity. The case where the Radon–Nikodym derivative is an operator is also under discussion. Classical and quantum theories in the background of space endowed with quantum measure are under consideration.
