Abstract

We point out an incompleteness of formulations of gravitational and gauge theories that use traces of holonomies around closed curves as their basic variables. It is shown that in general such loop variables have to satisfy certain inequalities if they are to give a description equivalent to the usual one in terms of local gauge potentials.
