I will revisit the canonical quantization of General Relativity in the self-dual formulation in the presence of a cosmological constant, discussing the normalizability of graviton states over the de Sitter spacetime. Time permitting, I will explain how the physics of the Hamiltonian constraint is analogous to the quantum Hall effect, with the cosmological constant playing the role of a quantum gravitational Hall resistivity.
