Abstract: Recent work on state sum models of quantum gravity in 3 and 4 dimensions has led to interest in the 'quantum tetrahedron'.Starting with a classical phase space whose points correspond to geometries of the tetrahedron in M 3 , we use geometric quantization to obtain a Hilbert space of states.This Hilbert space has a basis of states labeled by the areas of the faces of the tetrahedron together with one more quantum number, e-print archive: http.
