The authors describe the canonical quantization of Einstein gravity for space-times with one killing vector field. They use the new canonical variables introduced by Ashtekar. Both the connection and loop space representations for the quantum theory are considered. The authors find that the physical state space has a characterization in terms of equivalence classed of Eulerian graphs.
