Asymptotics of Classical Spin Networks Stavros Garoufalidis and Roland Van Der Veen
نویسنده
چکیده
A spin network is a cubic ribbon graph labeled by representations of SU(2). Spin networks are important in various areas of Mathematics (3-dimensional Quantum Topology), Physics (Angular Momentum, Classical and Quantum Gravity) and Chemistry (Atomic Spectroscopy). The evaluation of a spin network is an integer number. The main results of our paper are: (a) an existence theorem for the asymptotics of evaluations of arbitrary spin networks (using the theory of G-functions), (b) a rationality property of the generating series of all evaluations with a fixed underlying graph (using the combinatorics of the chromatic evaluation of a spin network), (c) rigorous effective computations of our results for some 6j-symbols using the Wilf-Zeilberger theory, and (d) a complete analysis of the regular Cube 12j spin network (including a non-rigorous guess of its Stokes constants), in the appendix.

On the volume conjecture for classical spin networks
We prove an upper bound for the evaluation of all classical SU2 spin networks conjectured by Garoufalidis and van der Veen. This implies one half of the analogue of the volume conjecture which they proposed for classical spin networks. We are also able to obtain the other half, namely, an exact determination of the spectral radius, for the special class of generalized drum graphs. Our proof use...

متن کاملAsymptotics of Classical Spin Networks
A spin network consists of a cubic ribbon graph (i.e., an abstract trivalent graph with a cyclic ordering of the vertices around each edge) and an admissible coloring of its edges by natural numbers. The evaluation of a spin network, with our normalization, is an integer number. The main results of our paper are: (a) an existence theorem for the asymptotics of evaluations of arbitrary spin netw...
متن کاملAsymptotics of Quantum Spin Networks at a Fixed Root of Unity
A classical spin network consists of a ribbon graph (i.e., an abstract graph with a cyclic ordering of the vertices around each edge) and an admissible coloring of its edges by natural numbers. The standard evaluation of a spin network is an integer number. In a previous paper, we proved an existence theorem for the asymptotics of the standard evaluation of an arbitrary classical spin network w...
