The geometrization of matter proposal in the Barrett-Crane model and resolution of cosmological problems

arXiv:gr-qc/0306079

Abstract

We give an overview of the current issues in early universe cosmology and consider the potential resolution of these issues in an as yet nascent spin foam cosmology. The model is the Barrett-Crane Model for quantum gravity along with a generalization of manifold complexes to complexes including conical singularities.
