A 3BF model of quantum gravity coupled to Standard Model matter
Pavle Stipsic, Marko Vojinovic
We develop an explicit model of quantum gravity coupled to the matter fields of the Standard Model, based on the 3-group structure and the 3BF action, within the framework of highe…
Correspondence between 3BF and Einstein-Cartan formulations of quantum gravity
Pavle Stipsic, Marko Vojinovic
We construct a correspondence between the quantized constrained 3BF theory and the quantized Einstein-Cartan theory with contact spin-spin interaction, both of which describe the S…
The 3BF theory as a TQFT
Tijana Radenkovic, Marko Vojinovic
We study the path integral quantization of the topological 3BF theory, whose gauge symmetry is described by a 3-group. This theory is relevant for the quantization of general relat…
Symmetry breaking mechanisms of the 3BF action for the Standard Model coupled to gravity
Pavle Stipsic, Marko Vojinovic
We study the details of the explicit and spontaneous symmetry breaking of the constrained 3BF action representing the Standard Model coupled to Einstein-Cartan gravity. First we di…
Henneaux-Teitelboim gauge symmetry and its applications to higher gauge theories
Mihailo Djordjevic, Tijana Radenkovic, Pavle Stipsic +1
When discussing the gauge symmetries of any theory, the Henneaux-Teitelboim transformations are often underappreciated or even completely ignored, due to their on-shell triviality.…
Operational verification of the existence of a spacetime manifold
Nikola Paunkovic, Marko Vojinovic
We argue that there exists an operational way to establish the observability of the notions of space and time. Specifically, we propose a theory-independent protocol for a gedanken…
Topological invariant of 4-manifolds based on a 3-group
Tijana Radenkovic, Marko Vojinovic
We study a generalization of a 4-dimensional BF-theory in the context of higher gauge theory. We construct a triangulation independent topological state sum Z, based on the classic…
Quantum gravity and elementary particles from higher gauge theory
Tijana Radenkovic, Marko Vojinovic
We give a brief overview how to couple general relativity to the Standard Model of elementary particles, within the higher gauge theory framework, suitable for the spinfoam quantiz…
Gauge symmetry of the 3BF theory for a generic Lie 3-group
Tijana Radenkovic, Marko Vojinovic
The higher category theory can be employed to generalize the BF action to the so-called 3BF action, by passing from the notion of a gauge group to the notion of a gauge 3-group. In…
Construction and examples of higher gauge theories
Tijana Radenkovic, Marko Vojinovic
We provide several examples of higher gauge theories, constructed as generalizations of a BF model to 2BF and 3BF models with constraints. Using the framework of higher category th…
Hamiltonian Analysis for the Scalar Electrodynamics as 3BF Theory
Tijana Radenkovic, Marko Vojinovic
The higher category theory can be employed to generalize the BF action to the so-called 3BF action, by passing from the notion of a gauge group to the notion of a gauge 3-group. Th…
Higher Gauge Theories Based on 3-groups
Tijana Radenkovic, Marko Vojinovic
We study the categorical generalizations of a theory to and theories, corresponding to -groups and -groups, in the framework of higher gauge theory. In parti…
