Relating spin-foam to canonical loop quantum gravity by graphical calculus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The graphical calculus method is generalized to study the relation between covariant and canonical dynamics of loop quantum gravity. On one hand, a derivation partition function Euclidean Engle-Pereira-Rovelli-Livine (EPRL) spin-foam model presented. other action Hamiltonian constraint operator on certain spin network states calculated by method. It turns out that EPRL can provide rigging map such weakly satisfied physical for Immirzi parameter $\beta=1$. In this sense, formulations are consistent each other.

Canonical “Loop” Quantum Gravity and Spin Foam Models
The canonical “loop” formulation of quantum gravity is a mathematically well defined, background independent, non perturbative standard quantization of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. Some among the most meaningful results of the theory are: 1) the complete calculation of the spectrum of geometric quantities like the area and the volume and the consequent physical predictions about the...
متن کاملThe Spin-Foam Approach to Quantum Gravity
This article reviews the present status of the spin-foam approach to the quantization of gravity. Special attention is payed to the pedagogical presentation of the recently-introduced new models for four-dimensional quantum gravity. The models are motivated by a suitable implementation of the path integral quantization of the Plebanski formulation of gravity on a simplicial regularization. The ...
متن کاملSpin 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...
متن کاملSpin Foam Models of Riemannian Quantum Gravity
Using numerical calculations, we compare three versions of the Barrett– Crane model of 4-dimensional Riemannian quantum gravity. In the version with face and edge amplitudes as described by De Pietri, Freidel, Krasnov, and Rovelli, we show the partition function diverges very rapidly for many triangulated 4-manifolds. In the version with modified face and edge amplitudes due to Perez and Rovell...
متن کاملSpin Foam Models of Quantum Gravity
We give a short review of the spin foam models of quantum gravity , with an emphasis on the Barret-Crane model. After explaining the shortcomings of the Barret-Crane model, we briefly discuss two new approaches , one based on the 3d spin foam state sum invariants for the embedded spin networks, and the other based on representing the string scattering amplitudes as 2d spin foam state sum invari...
