We present the characterizations of symbol correspondences for mechanical systems that are symmetric by $SU(3)$, which we refer to as \emph{quark systems}. The quantum quark systems are the unitary irreducible representations of $SU(3)$ of…
We show how a simple and elegant graphical notation can be used to derive the Biedenharn-Elliot identity for the 6j-symbol and we demonstrate how the same technique can be applied to obtain new identities for the 6j. We then employ the same…
We have found an alternate way of deriving the Ginocchio-Haxton relation [(2j-3)/6], where the square brackets mean the largest integer that is less than or equal to what is inside them. Our derivation involves the calculation of the number…
We consider the generalization of the "spinor approach" to the Lorentzian case, in the context of 3d loop quantum gravity with cosmological constant $\Lambda=0$. The key technical tool that allows this generalization is the recoupling…
We prove the Turaev-Viro invariants volume conjecture for a "universal" class of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds that produces all 3-manifolds with empty or toroidal boundary by Dehn filling. This leads to two-sided bounds on the volume of…
A formula is derived that provides generating functions for any multi-j-symbol, such as the 3-j-symbol, the 6-j-symbol, the 9-j-symbol, etc. The result is completely determined by geometrical objects (loops and curves) in the graph of the…
In this article, we define a symmetric 2-tensor canonically associated to Q-curvature called J-tensor on any Riemannian manifold with dimension at least three. The relation between J-tensor and Q-curvature is precisely like Ricci tensor and…
The closure constraint is a central piece of the mathematics of loop quantum gravity. It encodes the gauge invariance of the spin network states of quantum geometry and provides them with a geometrical interpretation: each decorated vertex…
Progress along the line of a previous article are reported. One main point is to include chiral operators with fractional quantum group spins (fourth or sixth of integers) which are needed to achieve modular invariance. We extend the study…
We study properties of a parafermionic generalization of the hyperbolic hypergeometric function appearing as the most important part in the fusion matrix for Liouville field theory and the Racah-Wigner symbols for the Faddeev modular…
Based on prototypical example of Al.Zamolodchikov's recursion relations for the four point conformal block and using recently proposed Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa (AGT) conjecture, recursion relations are derived for the generalized…
We review and supplement the recent result by the authors on the reduction of the three dimensional $R$ (3d $R$) satisfying the tetrahedron equation to the quantum $R$ matrices for the $q$-oscillator representations of $U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1})$,…
We derive general tree-level recursion relations for amplitudes which include massive propagating particles. As an illustration, we apply these recursion relations to scattering amplitudes of gluons coupled to massive scalars. We provide…
For each generic $(3\mbox{-}j)$ the column parities, $2(j \pm m)$, define $3$ intrinsic parities: $\alpha, \beta,\gamma$. In algebra $so(3)$ only $(3\mbox{-}j)\_{\alpha}$ exists whereas super-algebra $osp(1|2)$ admits $3$ kinds of…
For the general operator product algebra coefficients derived by Cremmer Roussel Schnittger and the present author with (positive integer) screening numbers, the coupling constants determine the factors additional to the quantum group 6j…
By exploiting a correspondence between Random Regge triangulations (i.e., Regge triangulations with variable connectivity) and punctured Riemann surfaces, we propose a possible characterization of the SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a…
Modular double of quantum group SL_q(2,R) with |q|=1 has a series of selfadjoint irreducible representations parameterized by s. Ponsot and Teschner considered a decomposition of the tensor product of two representations into irreducibles.…
The original spin foam model construction for 4D gravity by Barrett and Crane suffers from a few troubling issues. In the simple examples of the vertex amplitude they can be summarized as the existence of contributions to the asymptotics…
The search for classical or quantum combinatorial invariants of compact n-dimensional manifolds (n=3,4) plays a key role both in topological field theories and in lattice quantum gravity. We present here a generalization of the partition…
In the context of phenomenological models in which the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters of the MSSM become universal at some unification scale, M_{in}, above the GUT scale, \mgut, it is possible that all the scalar mass parameters…
