Abstract

The differential structure of the Ashtekar - Isham quantum configuration space of canonical gravity allows the expression of the operators, representing various geometrical objects, by compact analytic formulae. In this paper such a formula is presented for the Rovelli - Smolin volume operator. This operator is compared with the quantum volume defined by Ashtekar and Lewandowski and a difference is indicated.
