W. Apel and Yu.A. Bychkov have recently considered the spin relaxation in a 2D quantum Hall system for the filling factor close to unity [PRL v.82, 3324 (1999)]. The authors considered only one spin flip mechanism (direct spin-phonon…
Spinfoams provide a framework for the dynamics of loop quantum gravity that is manifestly covariant under the full four-dimensional diffeomorphism symmetry group of general relativity. In this way they complete the ideal of…
This paper is twofold. First of all a complete unified picture of $n$-dimensional quantum gravity is proposed in the following sense: In spin foam models of quantum gravity the evaluation of spin networks play a very important role. These…
We design spin filters for particles with potentially arbitrary spin S (= 1/2, 1, 3/2,....) using a one-dimensional periodic chain of magnetic atoms as a quantum device. Describing the system within a tight-binding formalism we present an…

Spinfoam amplitudes with small spins can have interesting semiclassical behavior and relate to semiclassical gravity and geometry in 4 dimensions. We study the generalized spinfoam model (Spinfoams for all loop quantum gravity (LQG)) with…

We investigate the role of causality in the generalized EPRL spinfoam model introduced by Kaminski, Kisielowski, and Lewandowski (EPRL-KKL). We first propose a definition of causal structure on an arbitrary 2-complex and analyze how causal…

In modern quantum field theory, one of the most important tasks is the calculation of loop integrals. Loop integrals appear when evaluating the Feynman diagrams with one or more loops by integrating over the internal momenta. Even though…
In this paper, we propose a method to construct the decay amplitudes in the orbital ($L$) and spin ($S$) coupling scheme for particles with arbitrary spins. For the $1\to 2$ decay with only massive particles involved, the angular dependence…
The spin foam formalism provides transition amplitudes for loop quantum gravity. Important aspects of the dynamics are understood, but many open questions are pressing on. In this paper we address some of them using a twistorial…
