I study several aspects of the path(st) integral we formulated in previous papers on energetic causal sets with Cortes and others. The focus here is on quantum field theories, including the standard model of particle physics. I show that…
We present two new integrable spin ladder models which posses three general free parameters besides the rung coupling J. Wang's systems based on the SU(4) and SU(3/1) symmetries can be obtained as special cases. The models are exactly…
In this paper we present a new compact expression of the elliptic genus of SL(2)/U(1)-supercoset theory by making use of the `spectral flow method' of the path-integral evaluation. This new expression is written in a form like a Poincare…
To obtain a well defined path integral one often employs discretizations. In the case of gravity and reparametrization invariant systems, the latter of which we consider here as a toy example, discretizations generically break…
Starting from the defining transformations of complex matrices for the SO(4) group, we construct the fundamental representation and the tensor and spinor representations of the group SO(4). Given the commutation relations for the…
In the search for a covariant formulation for Loop Quantum Gravity, spin foams have arised as the corresponding discrete space-time structure and, among the different models, the Barrett-Crane model seems the most promising. Here, we study…
Free scalar field theory on a flat spacetime can be cast into a generally covariant form known as parametrised field theory in which the action is a functional of the scalar field as well as the embedding variables which describe arbitrary,…
We propose a $D$-dimensional generalization of $4D$ bi-scalar conformal quantum field theory recently introduced by G\"{u}rdogan and one of the authors as a strong-twist double scaling limit of $\gamma$-deformed $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory.…
We describe a new path integral approach to strongly correlated fermion systems, considering the Hubbard model as a specific example. Our approach is based on the introduction of spin-particle-hole coherent states which generalize the…

For a finite point set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a connected graph $G$ on $k+1$ vertices, we define a $G$-framework to be a collection of $k + 1$ points in E such that the distance between a pair of points is specified if the…
We study 2-d $\phi F$ gauge theories with the objective to understand, also at the quantum level, the emergence of induced gravity. The wave functionals - representing the eigenstates of a vanishing flat potential - are obtained in the…
We present a general derivation of semi-fermionic representation for generators of SU(N) group as a bilinear combination of Fermi operators. The constraints are fulfilled by means of imaginary Lagrange multipliers. The important case of…

Spin foam models, loop quantum gravity and group field theory are discussed as quantum gravity candidate theories and usually involve a continuous Lie group. We advocate here to consider quantum gravity inspired models with finite groups,…

We introduce a simple lattice spin model that is written in terms of the well-known four-dimensional $\gamma$-matrix representation of the Clifford algebra. The local spins with a four-dimensional Hilbert space transform in a spinorial…
We explore discrete approaches in LQG where all fields, the gravitational tetrad, and the matter and energy fields, are encoded implicitly in a graph instead of being additional data. Our graph should therefore be richer than a simple…
