In the preceding paper of this series of articles we established
peakedness properties of a family of coherent states that were introduced
by Hall for any compact gauge group and were later generalized to gauge
field theory by Ashtekar, Lewandowski, Marolf, Mourão and Thiemann.
In this paper we establish the `Ehrenfest property' of these states which
are labelled by a point (A,E), a connection and an electric field, in the
classical phase space. By this we mean that the expectation values of the
elementary operators
(and of their commutators divided by iℏ, respectively) in a coherent
state labelled by the (A,E) are, to zeroth order in ℏ, given by the
values of the corresponding elementary functions (and of their Poisson
brackets, respectively) at the point (A,E).
These results can be extended to all polynomials of elementary operators
and to a certain non-polynomial function of the elementary operators
associated with the volume operator of quantum general relativity. These
findings are another step towards establishing that the infinitesimal
quantum dynamics of quantum general relativity might, to lowest order in
ℏ, indeed be given by classical general relativity.
