Description

We explore the modifications to fundamental geometric variables of Loop Gravity induced by the presence of fermions, and examine the resulting gravitational dynamics. This analysis is then extended to incorporate Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). Finally, we discuss potential approaches for quantizing the system, outlining possible directions for future research.
