Tetrahedral Geometry from Areas
Louis Crane, David N. Yetter
We solve a very classical problem motivated by considerations in quantum gravity: providing a description of the geometry of a Euclidean tetrahedron from the initial data of the ar…
Searching for Extraterrestrial Civilizations Using gamma Ray Telescopes
Louis Crane
We investigate looking for black hole starships using very high energy gamma ray telescopes. We find they would be above the threshhold of visibility although there are many unknow…
Moves on Filtered PL Manifolds and Stratified PL Spaces
Louis Crane, David N. Yetter
We extend results of Pachner and Casali to give finite sets of moves relating triangulations of PL manifolds respecting filtrations by locally flat manifolds and stratifications in…
String Field Theory from Quantum Gravity
Louis Crane
Recent work on neutrino oscillations suggests that the three generations of fermions in the standard model are related by representations of the finite group A(4), the group of sym…
Discrete Symmetry in the EPRL Model and Neutrino Physics
Louis Crane
In \cite{C1}, we proposed a new interpretation of the EPRL quantization of the BC model for quantum general relativity using a monoidal functor we call the time functor. In this pr…
Holography in the EPRL Model
Louis Crane
In this research announcement, we propose a new interpretation of the EPR quantization of the BC model using a functor we call the time functor, which is the first example of a CLa…
