Motivated by the Turaev-Viro invariant of 3-manifolds, we construct a formal topological invariant of closed, oriented 3-manifolds involving spherical tetrahedra as an application of the asymptotic formula of 6j symbols for the Quantum…

The large $j$ asymptotic behavior of $4$-dimensional spin foam amplitude is investigated for the extended spin foam model (Conrady-Hnybida extension) on a simplicial complex. We study the most general situation in which timelike tetrahedra…

We derive an asymptotic formula for the Wigner $12j$ symbol, in the limit of one small and 11 large angular momenta. There are two kinds of asymptotic formulas for the $12j$ symbol with one small angular momentum. We present the first kind…

We study the asymptotic expansion of the 6j-symbol using the Schulten-Gordon recursion relations. We focus on the particular case of the isosceles tetrahedron and we provide explicit formulas for up to the third order corrections beyond the…

In this paper, we study the asymptotics of the $6j$-symbols for the principal series of the modular double of $\mathrm U_q\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb R)$, and of their analytic extension -- what we call the $b$-$6j$ symbols, relating them in…

This article presents and discusses in detail the results of extensive exact calculations of the most basic ingredients of spin networks, the Racah coefficients (or Wigner 6j symbols), exhibiting their salient features when considered as a…

We describe a technique to study the asymptotics of SL(2,C) invariant tensors associated to graphs, with unitary irreps and lowest SU(2) spins, and apply it to the Lorentzian EPRL-KKL (Engle, Pereira, Rovelli, Livine; Kaminski, Kieselowski,…

Quantum or classical mechanical systems symmetric under $SU(2)$ are called spin systems. A $SU(2)$-equivariant map from $(n+1)$-square matrices to functions on the $2$-sphere S^2, satisfying some basic properties, is called a spin-$j$…

A certain operator $\T=\int_{\SL}\dd g\, Y^{\dagger}gY$ can be found in various Lorentzian EPRL calculations. The properties of this operator has been studied here in large $j$ limit. The leading order of $\T$ is proportional to the…

We show that generic SU(2)-invariant random spin-1 chains have phases with an emergent SU(3) symmetry. We map out the full zero-temperature phase diagram and identify two different phases: (i) a conventional random singlet phase (RSP) of…

The well-known stationary phase formula gives us a way to precisely compute oscillating integrals so long as the symbol is regular enough (in comparison to the large parameter controlling the oscillation). However in a number of…
