The particle interpretation of N = 1 supersymmetric spin foams
arXiv:1004.0672 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/27/22/225022
Abstract
We show that N = 1 supersymmetric BF theory in 3d leads to a supersymmetric spin foam amplitude via a lattice discretisation. Furthermore, by analysing the supersymmetric quantum amplitudes, we show that they can be re-interpreted as 3d gravity coupled to embedded fermionic Feynman diagrams.
