Projected spin networks for Lorentz connection: linking spin foams and loop gravity

Open access
Livine, Etera R·2002·Classical and Quantum Gravity

Abstract

In the search for a covariant formulation for loop quantum gravity, spin foams have arisen as the corresponding discrete spacetime structure and, among the different models, the Barrett–Crane model seems to be the most promising. Here, we study its boundary states and introduce cylindrical functions on both the Lorentz connection and the time normal to the studied hypersurface. We call them projected cylindrical functions and explain how they would naturally arise in a covariant formulation of loop quantum gravity.

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.
