A new link between tetrahedra and the group SU(2) is pointed out: by associating to each face of a tetrahedron an irreducible unitary SU(2) representation and by imposing that the faces close, the concept of quantum tetrahedron is seen to…

The space $\mathrm{Inv}(j_1,j_2,j_3,j_4)$ of SU(2)-invariant four-valent tensors, also known as intertwiners, can be understood as the quantum states of a tetrahedron in Euclidean space with fixed areas. In loop quantum gravity, they are…
In this paper we investigate the possibility of constructing a complete quantization procedure consisting of geometric and deformation quantization. The latter assigns a noncommutative algebra to a symplectic manifold, by deforming the…
We extend Berezin's quantization $q:M\to\mathbb{P}\mathcal{H}$ to holomorphic symplectic manifolds, which involves replacing the state space $\mathbb{P}\mathcal{H}$ with its complexification $\text{T}^*\mathbb{P}\mathcal{H}.$ We show that…
