Spin Foams for the SO(4,C) BF theory and the SO(4,C) General Relativity
Suresh K Maran
The Spin Foam Model for the SO(4,C) BF theory is discussed. The Barrett-Crane intertwiner for the SO(4,C) general relativity is systematically derived. The SO(4,C) Barret-Crane int…
A Note on the Asymptotic Limit of the Four Simplex
Suresh K Maran
Recently the asymptotic limit of the Barrett-Crane models has been studied by Barrett and Steele. Here by a direct study, I show that we can extract the bivectors which satisfy the…
Reality Conditions for Spin Foams
Suresh K Maran
An idea of reality conditions in the context of spin foams (Barrett-Crane models) is developed. The square of areas are the most elementary observables in the case of spin foams. T…
A Systematic Derivation of the Riemannian Barrett-Crane Intertwiner
Suresh K Maran
The Barrett-Crane intertwiner for the Riemannian general relativity is systematically derived by solving the quantum Barrett-Crane constraints corresponding to a tetrahedron (excep…
The Area Metric Reality Constraint in Classical General Relativity
Suresh K Maran
A classical foundation for an idea of reality condition in the context of spin foams (Barrett-Crane models) is developed. I extract classical real general relativity (all signature…
Rigorous construction of a Spin Foam Model for Lorentzian BF theory and Gravity: The foundations
Suresh K. Maran
Spin foam models for gravity or BF theory can be constructed by path integral formulation of the classical discrete models formulated on simplicial manifolds. Using this, we discus…
