A topological state sum model for a scalar field on the circle
Steven Kerr
This paper is a follow-up to a previous paper on fermions. A simple state sum model for a scalar field on a triangulated 1-manifold is constructed. The model is independent of the…

Gauge theory of gravity and matter
Steven Kerr
It is shown how to write the first order action for gravity in a gauge theoretic formalism where the spin connection and frame field degrees of freedom are assimilated together int…

Topological quantum field theory and quantum gravity
Steven Kerr
This thesis is broadly split into two parts. In the first part, simple state sum models for minimally coupled fermion and scalar fields are constructed on a -manifold. The model…
