This presentation explores the quantization of physical degrees of freedom in general relativity, emphasizing the construction of a Hilbert space of states for gravity with a clear semiclassical limit. It addresses the issues related to the Kodama state, employing an instanton representation of Plebanski’s starting action. A detailed discussion on the canonical structure and quantization process is provided, culminating in a proposed resolution for the Kodama state, aiming to enhance our understanding of the foundations of quantum gravity.
