Gravitational edge modes: from Kac–Moody charges to Poincaré networks

L Freidel, E Livine, D Pranzetti - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We revisit the canonical framework for general relativity in its connection-vierbein
formulation, recasting the Gauss law, the Bianchi identity and the space diffeomorphism bulk …

The fine structure of SU (2) intertwiners from U (N) representations

L Freidel, ER Livine - Journal of mathematical physics, 2010 - pubs.aip.org
In this work, we study the Hilbert space space of N-valent SU (2) intertwiners with fixed total
spin, which can be identified, at the classical level, with a space of convex polyhedra with N …

U (N) coherent states for loop quantum gravity

L Freidel, ER Livine - Journal of mathematical physics, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
We investigate the geometry of the space of N-valent SU (2) intertwiners. We propose a new
set of holomorphic operators acting on this space and a new set of coherent states which are …

Gluing polyhedra with entanglement in loop quantum gravity

B Baytaş, E Bianchi, N Yokomizo - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
In a spin-network basis state, nodes of the graph describe unentangled quantum regions of
space, quantum polyhedra. In this paper we show how entanglement between intertwiner …

Quantum black holes: Entropy and entanglement on the horizon

ER Livine, DR Terno - Nuclear Physics B, 2006 - Elsevier
We are interested in black holes in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). We study the simple model
of static black holes: the horizon is made of a given number of identical elementary surfaces …

U (N) tools for loop quantum gravity: the return of the spinor

EF Borja, L Freidel, I Garay… - Classical and Quantum …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We explore the classical setting for the U (N) framework for SU (2) intertwiners for loop
quantum gravity and describe the corresponding phase space in terms of spinors with the …

Holomorphic simplicity constraints for 4D spinfoam models

M Dupuis, ER Livine - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Within the framework of spinfoam models, we revisit the simplicity constraints reducing
topological BF theory to 4D Riemannian gravity. We use the reformulation of SU (2) …

Loop quantum gravity and quantum information

E Bianchi, ER Livine - arXiv preprint arXiv:2302.05922, 2023 - arxiv.org
We summarize recent developments at the interface of quantum gravity and quantum
information, and discuss applications to the quantum geometry of space in loop quantum …

Observables in loop quantum gravity with a cosmological constant

M Dupuis, F Girelli - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
In many quantum gravity approaches, the cosmological constant is introduced by deforming
the gauge group into a quantum group. In three dimensions, the quantization of the Chern …

SU (N) irreducible Schwinger bosons

M Mathur, I Raychowdhury, R Anishetty - Journal of mathematical …, 2010 - pubs.aip.org
We construct SU (N) irreducible Schwinger bosons satisfying certain U (N-1) constraints
which implement the symmetries of SU (N) Young tableaues. As a result all SU (N) …
