A spin network generalization of the Jones Polynomial and Vassiliev invariants
R. Gambini, J. Griego, J. Pullin
We apply the ideas of Alvarez and Labastida to the invariant of spin networks defined by Witten and Martin based on Chern-Simons theory. We show that it is possible to define ambie…

Chern--Simons states in spin-network quantum gravity
Rodolfo Gambini, Jorge Griego, Jorge Pullin
In the context of canonical quantum gravity in terms of Ashtekar's new variables, it is known that there exists a state that is annihilated by all the quantum constraints and that…
