Abstract

A model is proposed which generates all oriented 3D simplicial complexes weighted with an invariant associated with a topological lattice gauge theory. When the gauge group is SU q (2), q n =1, it is the Turaev-Viro invariant and the model may be regarded as a nonperturbative definition of 3D simplicial quantum gravity. If one takes a finite Abelian group G, the corresponding invariant gives the rank of the first cohomology group of a complex C:I G (C)=rank(H 1 (C,G)), which means a topological expansion in the Betti number b 1 . In general, it is a theory of the Dijkgraaf-Witten type, i.e., determined completely by the fundamental group of a manifold.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Freidel and Loupre considered a variant of the Ponzano-Regge model and showed that although the sum over topologies diverges, it is Borel summable.

    “Building on work by Boulatov [60], Freidel and Loupre have recently considered a variant of the Ponzano-Regge model, and have shown that although the sum over topologies diverges, it is Borel summable [132].”
  • From loop quantum gravity and other approaches, the N_i's are naturally related to the area of the faces, and their intertwiner to the volume.

    “indeed, we know from loop quantum gravity [3,29] and from other approaches [21], that the N i 's are naturally related to the area of the faces, and their intertwiner to the volume.”

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.
