摘要：

The volume operator is an important kinematical quantity in the non-perturbative approach to four-dimensional quantum gravity in the connection formulation. We give a general algorithm for computing its spectrum when acting on four-valent spin network states, evaluate some of the eigenvalue formulae explicitly, and discuss the role played by the Mandelstam constraints.
