Spin Networks, Turaev-Viro Theory and the Loop Representation
Timothy J. Foxon
We investigate the Ponzano-Regge and Turaev-Viro topological field theories using spin networks and their -deformed analogues. I propose a new description of the state space for…

Semi-Classical Limits of Simplicial Quantum Gravity
J. W. Barrett, T. J. Foxon
We consider the simplicial state-sum model of Ponzano and Regge as a path integral for quantum gravity in three dimensions. We examine the Lorentzian geometry of a single 3-simplex…
