so (4) Plebanski action and relativistic spin-foam model
Open accessAbstract
We study the correspondence between the `relativistic spin-foam' model introduced by Barrett, Crane and Baez and the so (4) Plebanski action. We argue that the so (4) Plebanski model is the continuum analogue of the relativistic spin-foam model. We prove that the so (4) Plebanski action possesses four phases, one of which is related to gravity and discuss the relation between this model and the model of Euclidean tetrad gravity. We also show that the so (4) Plebanski model possesses another natural discretization that can be associated with another, new, spin-foam model which appear to be the so (4) counterpart of the spin-foam model describing the self-dual formulation of gravity.

In the citing paper
“The construction of the generalized matrix models gives probably a path to follow in this direction, since the coupling of matter fields to gravity was already studied in the context of two-dimensional matrix models [109,115,116].”

“They can then be translated into the so-called simplicity constraints restricting the used SL (2 , C ) representations to simple ones, which have a vanishing quadratic Casimir operator [27, 25, 26].”

In the citing paper
“Its construction relies on methods from geometrical quantization [21, 23], but can also be related to the generalised Palatini action (with Immirzi parameter) through a generalised constrained BF theory [24, 25, 26].”

“Similarly, the spin foam quantization, which can be understood as a discrete path integral, of the generalized Hilbert-Palatini action was shown not to depend on the Immirzi parameter [25, 26].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
