A classification of hadrons and their interactions at low energies according to SU(4) allows to identify combinations of the fifteen mesons $\pi$, $\omega$ and $\rho$ within the spin-isospin decomposition of the regular representation…
Individual spinors in a SU(2) spin network are described by their relations to the background spin network. A 'covariant' formulation of these relations yields the de Sitter group SO(3,2) as the fundamental symmetry group. Locally this…
A model of a relativistic particle moving in the Liouville field is investigated. Symmetry group of the system is $SL(2,R)/Z_2$. The corresponding dynamical integrals describe full set of classical trajectories. Dynamical integrals are used…
The aim of this paper is to study the natural action of the real symplectic group, $\operatorname{Sp}(4, \mathbb{R})$, on the algebraic set of $4$-dimensional Lie algebras admitting symplectic structures and to give a complete…
We define supersymmetric spin networks, which provide a complete set of gauge invariant states for supergravity and supersymmetric gauge theories. The particular case of Osp(1/2) is studied in detail and applied to the non-perturbative…
We derive the spin-statistics theorem in both relativistic and non-relativistic first-quantized form, extending considerably the earlier proofs. Our derivation is based on the representation theories of the groups SU (2) and SL(2,C), latter…
We prove statement conjectured in [Baez and Barrett:2001] that every 3-edge-connected SL(2,C) spin-network with invariants of certain class is integrable. It means that the regularized evaluation (defined by a suitable integral) of such a…
A gauge invariant Hamiltonian representation for SU(2) in terms of a spin network basis is introduced. The vectors of the spin network basis are independent and the electric part of the Hamiltonian is diagonal in this representation. The…
A new link between tetrahedra and the group SU(2) is pointed out: by associating to each face of a tetrahedron an irreducible unitary SU(2) representation and by imposing that the faces close, the concept of quantum tetrahedron is seen to…
We provide a classification of all dynamical Lie algebras generated by 2-local spin interactions on undirected graphs. Building on our previous work where we provided such a classification for spin chains, here we consider the more general…
Although there are many proposals of relativistic spin observables, there is no agreement about the adequate definition of this quantity. This problem arises from the fact that, in the present literature, there is no consensus concerning…
Recently the $\text{SU}(2)$ spin-network states in loop quantum gravity is generalized to those of the corresponding affine Lie algebra. We show that if one literally starts from the full $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ group, this procedure…
Projected spin network states are the canonical basis of quantum states of geometry for the most recent EPR-FK spinfoam models for quantum gravity. They are functionals of both the Lorentz connection and the time normal field. We analyze in…
The spin network simulator model represents a bridge between (generalized) circuit schemes for standard quantum computation and approaches based on notions from Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFT). More precisely, when working with…
Spin networks are at the core of quantum gravity. Our aim is to plug the mathematical community at large into the procedures turn to create a finite quantum theory of general relativity. For this, because of the different cultural…
In the context of a canonical quantization of general relativity, one can deform the loop gravity phase space on a graph by replacing the T*SU(2) phase space attached to each edge by SL(2,C) seen as a phase space. This deformation is…
We give a full classification of Lie algebras of specific type in complexified Clifford algebras. These sixteen Lie algebras are direct sums of subspaces of quaternion types. We obtain isomorphisms between these Lie algebras and classical…
Spin networks are natural generalization of Wilson loops functionals. They have been extensively studied in the case where the gauge group is compact and it has been shown that they naturally form a basis of gauge invariant observables.…
We apply the ideas of Alvarez and Labastida to the invariant of spin networks defined by Witten and Martin based on Chern-Simons theory. We show that it is possible to define ambient invariants of spin networks that (for the case of SU(2))…
We consider an SU(2)-lattice gauge model in the tree gauge. Classically, this is a system with symmetries whose configuration space is a direct product of copies of SU(2), acted upon by diagonal inner automorphisms. We derive defining…
