Abstract
The properties of the space $\A$ of regular connections as a subset of the space $\Ab$ of generalized connections in the Ashtekar framework are studied. For every choice of compact structure group and smoothness category for the paths it is determined whether $\A$ is dense in $\Ab$ or not. Moreover, it is proven that $\A$ has Ashtekar-Lewandowski measure zero for every nontrivial structure group and every smoothness category. The analogous results hold for gauge orbits instead of connections.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, LaTe
