State integral models and the tetrahedron equation

arXiv:2603.09230 · doi:10.1088/1751-8121/ae848f

summary

The paper proves that for a class of state integral models on shaped pseudo‑3‑manifolds, the Boltzmann weight assigned to a tetrahedron satisfies the tetrahedron equation, with the tetrahedron’s dihedral angles serving as spectral parameters.

Abstract

It is shown that for a class of state integral models on shaped pseudo 3-manifolds, including the edge formulation of Teichmüller TQFT, the Boltzmann weight assigned to a tetrahedron solves the tetrahedron equation. The dihedral angles of the tetrahedron play the role of spectral parameters.
