Abstract

We define a lattice statistical model on a triangulated manifold in four dimensions associated to a group G. When G= SU (2), the statistical weight is constructed from the 15j-symbol as well as the 6j-symbol for recombination of angular momenta, and the model may be regarded as the four-dimensional version of the Ponzano-Regge model. We show that the partition function of the model is invariant under the Alexander moves of the simplicial complex, thus it depends only on the piecewise linear topology of the manifold. For an orientable manifold, the model is related to the so-called BF model. The q-analog of the model is also constructed, and it is argued that its partition function is invariant under the Alexander moves. It is discussed how to realize the 't Hooft operator in these models associated to a closed surface in four dimensions as well as the Wilson operator associated to a closed loop. Correlation functions of these operators in the q-deformed version of the model would define a new type of invariants of knots and links in four dimensions.

  • Our expression for the proper time propagator U(T) of GR as a sum over worldsheets resembles in many ways the worldsheet sum for the projector on physical states, U_OCY, of the OCY model.

    “More specifically, our expression for the proper time propagator U ( T ) of GR as a sum over worldsheets resembles in many ways the worldsheet sum [8,56] 14 for the projector on physical states, U OCY , of the OCY model.”

  • BF theory and simplicial GR are theories with crossing symmetric vertices.

    “BF theory [11] and simplicial GR [8,9] are theories of this kind, and have crossing symmetric vertices.”

  • A branched colored surface σ can be interpreted as a discrete ('quantum') geometry.

    “There is a natural way of interpreting a branched colored surface σ as a discrete ('quantum') geometry. This geometrical interpretation was proposed in [8] in a slightly different context; it holds in the worldsheet formulation of the simplicial model of GR [9].”

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.
