On the limiting procedure by which and are associated
John Swain
There have been various attempts to identify groups of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of 2-dimensional manifolds with limits of SU(N) as . We discuss the particularly…
The Majorana representation of spins and the relation between and
John Swain
The Majorana representation of spin- quantum states by sets of points on a sphere allows a realization of SU(n) acting on such states, and thus a natural action on the…
The Topology of and the Group of Area-Preserving Diffeomorphisms of a Compact 2-manifold
John Swain
Given the interest in relating the large limit of SU(N) to groups of area-preserving diffeomorphisms, we consider the topologies of these groups and show that both in terms of…
The Pauli Exclusion Principle and SU(2) Versus SO(3) in Loop Quantum Gravity
John Swain
Recent attempts to resolve the ambiguity in the loop quantum gravity description of the quantization of area has led to the idea that edges of spin-networks dominate in their…
