Spin Foam Perturbation Theory for Three-Dimensional Quantum Gravity

We formulate the spin foam perturbation theory for three-dimensional Euclidean Quantum Gravity with a cosmological constant. We analyse the perturbative expansion of the partition function in the dilute-gas limit and we argue that the Baez conjecture stating that the number of possible distinct topological classes of perturbative configurations is finite for the set of all triangulations of a m...

Quantum deformation of two four-dimensional spin foam models

We construct the q-deformed version of two four-dimensional spin foam models, the Euclidean and Lorentzian versions of the EPRL model. The q-deformed models are based on the representation theory of two copies of Uq(su(2)) at a root of unity and on the quantum Lorentz group with a real deformation parameter. For both models we give a definition of the quantum EPRL intertwiners, study their conv...

Gluing 4-simplices: a derivation of the Barrett-Crane spin foam model for Euclidean quantum gravity

We derive the the Barrett-Crane spin foam model for Euclidean 4dimensional quantum gravity from a discretized BF theory, imposing the constraints that reduce it to gravity at the quantum level. We obtain in this way a precise prescription of the form of the Barrett-Crane state sum, in the general case of an arbitrary manifold with boundary. In particular we derive the amplitude for the edges of...

Quantum Spin Chains with Quantum Group Symmetry

We consider actions of quantum groups on lattice spin systems. We show that if an action of a quantum group respects the local structure of a lattice system, it has to be an ordinary group. Even allowing weakly delocalized (quasi-local) tails of the action, we find that there are no actions of a properly quantum group commuting with lattice translations. The non-locality arises from the orderin...

Spin Foam Models for Quantum Gravity

In this article we review the present status of the spin foam formulation of nonperturbative (background independent) quantum gravity. The article is divided in two parts. In the first part we present a general introduction to the main ideas emphasizing their motivation from various perspectives. Riemannian 3-dimensional gravity is used as a simple example to illustrate conceptual issues and ma...
