Holographic description of boundary gravitons in (3+1) dimensions
Seth K. Asante, Bianca Dittrich, Hal M. Haggard
Gravity is uniquely situated in between classical topological field theories and standard local field theories. This can be seen in the the quasi-local nature of gravitational obse…
SL(2,C) Chern-Simons Theory, Flat Connections, and Four-dimensional Quantum Geometry
Hal M. Haggard, Muxin Han, Wojciech Kaminski +1
A correspondence between three-dimensional flat connections and constant curvature four-dimensional simplices is used to give a novel quantization of geometry via complex SL(2,C) C…
Four-dimensional Quantum Gravity with a Cosmological Constant from Three-dimensional Holomorphic Blocks
Hal M. Haggard, Muxin Han, Wojciech Kamiński +1
Prominent approaches to quantum gravity struggle when it comes to incorporating a positive cosmological constant in their models. Using quantization of a complex $\mathrm{SL}(2,\ma…
SL(2,C) Chern-Simons Theory, a non-Planar Graph Operator, and 4D Loop Quantum Gravity with a Cosmological Constant: Semiclassical Geometry
Hal M. Haggard, Muxin Han, Wojciech Kamiński +1
We study the expectation value of a nonplanar Wilson graph operator in SL(2,C) Chern-Simons theory on . In particular we analyze its asymptotic behaviour in the double-scaling…
