The fusion coefficients from SO(3) to SO(4) play a key role in the definition of spin foam models for the dynamics in Loop Quantum Gravity. In this paper we give a simple analytic formula of the EPRL fusion coefficients. We study the large…

We study the partition function per site of the integrable $Sp(2n)$ vertex model on the square lattice. We establish a set of transfer matrix fusion relations for this model. The solution of these functional relations in the thermodynamic…
We compute the contour integral for the partition function of an $\mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(2)$ topologically twisted theory on $\mathbb{CP}^2$, dimensionally reducing from an $\mathcal{N}=1$ theory on $S^5$. Earlier works presented the partition…
The present paper is a short review of different path integral representations of the partition function of quantum spin systems. To begin with, I consider coherent states for SU(2) algebra. Different parameterizations of the coherent…

In this work we study the Hilbert space space of N-valent SU(2) intertwiners with fixed total spin, which can be identified, at the classical level, with a space of convex polyhedra with N face and fixed total boundary area. We show that…
The simplicial framework of Engle-Pereira-Rovelli-Livine spin-foam models is generalized to match the diffeomorphism invariant framework of loop quantum gravity. The simplicial spin-foams are generalized to arbitrary linear 2-cell…
We propose a quantum version of the quadratic volume simplicity constraint for the EPRL spin foam model. It relies on a formula for the volume of 4-dimensional polyhedra, depending on its bivectors and the knotting class of its boundary…
We present a structural resolution to the exact evaluation of the partition function $p_k(n)$, systematically overcoming the limitations of traditional recursive and asymptotic methods. By framing the partition polytope $\mathcal{P}_{n,k}$…
The partition functions of Pasquier models on the cylinder, and the associated intertwiners, are considered. It is shown that earlier results due to Saleur and Bauer can be rephrased in a geometrical way, reminiscent of formulae found in…
We present a family of unitary irreducible representations of SU(2) realized in the plane, in terms of the Laguerre polynomials. These functions are similar to the spherical harmonics defined on the sphere. Relations with an space of square…
We present an explicit expression for the topological invariants associated to $SU(2)$ monopoles in the fundamental representation on spin four-manifolds. The computation of these invariants is based on the analysis of their corresponding…
We derive a formalism to express the spin algebra $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ in a spin $s$ representation in terms of the algebra of $L$ fermionic operators that obey the Canonical Anti-commutation Relations. We also give the reverse direction of…
We show that the EPRL/FK spin foam model of quantum gravity has an absolutely convergent partition function if the vertex amplitude is divided by an appropriate power $p$ of the product of dimensions of the vertex spins. This power is…
The integral representation on the orthogonal groups for zonal spherical functions on the symmetric space $SU(N)/SO(N,\R)$ is used to obtain a generating function for such functions. For the case N=3 the three-dimensional integral…
Path integral for the $SU(2)$ spin system is reconsidered. We show that the Nielsen-Rohrlich(NR) formula is equivalent to the spin coherent state expression so that the phase space in the NR formalism is not topologically nontrivial. We…
We investigate some properties of a first-order polynomial formulation of the U(1) non-linear sigma-model in two Euclidean dimensions. The variables in this description are a 1-form field plus a 0-form Lagrange multiplier field. The usual…
