A correspondence between three-dimensional flat connections and constant curvature four-dimensional simplices is used to give a novel quantization of geometry via complex SL(2,C) Chern-Simons theory. The resulting quantum geometrical states…

We revisit the subject exploring maps from the space of 4-spinors to 3+1 space-time that commute with the Lorentz transformation. All known mappings have a natural embedding in a higher five dimensional spacetime, and can be succinctly…
A Heron triangle is a triangle whose side lengths and area are all positive integers. If the greatest common divisor of the three side lengths is $1$, it is called a primitive Heron triangle. In this paper, we give an equivalent condition…
