As a starting point, we take the Schwarzschild spacetime. The results presented here rely on the uniform discretization method. We are able to minimize the associated discrete master constraint using a variational method. The trial state for the vacuum consists of a direct product of a Fock vacuum for the matter part and a Gaussian centered around the classical Schwarzschild solution. This paper follows the line of research presented by Gambini et al (2009 Class. Quantum Grav. 26 215011 (arXiv: 0906.1774v1)) and a comparison between their result and the one given in this work is made.", optnote="WOS:000305810600013", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1087), last updated on Sun, 16 Dec 2012 19:29:40 +0000", issn="0264-9381", doi="10.1088/0264-9381/29/14/145012", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.4229", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/29/14/145012", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1201.4229", language="English" }
