  The Hilbert space of loop quantum gravity is usually described in terms of
cylindrical functionals of the gauge connection, the electric fluxes acting as
non-commuting derivation operators. It has long been believed that this
non-commutativity prevents a dual flux (or triad) representation of loop
quantum gravity to exist. We show here, instead, that such a representation can
be explicitly defined, by means of a non-commutative Fourier transform defined
on the loop gravity state space. In this dual representation, flux operators
act by *-multiplication and holonomy operators act by translation. We describe
the gauge invariant dual states and discuss their geometrical meaning. Finally,
we apply the construction to the simpler case of a U(1) gauge group and compare
the resulting flux representation with the triad representation used in loop
quantum cosmology.
