12j-symbols and four-dimensional quantum gravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a model which represents a four-dimensional version of Ponzano and Regge’s three-dimensional euclidean quantum gravity. In particular we show that the exponential of the euclidean Einstein-Regge action for a 4d-discretized block is given, in the semiclassical limit, by a gaussian integral of a suitable 12j-symbol. Possible developments of this result are discussed.

The Kerr/CFT Correspondence
Quantum gravity in the region very near the horizon of an extreme Kerr black hole (whose angular momentum and mass are related by J = GM2) is considered. It is shown that consistent boundary conditions exist, for which the asymptotic symmetry generators form one copy of the Virasoro algebra with central charge cL = 12J ~ . This implies that the near-horizon quantum states can be identified with...
متن کاملAsymptotics of Classical Spin Networks Stavros Garoufalidis and Roland Van Der Veen
A spin network is a cubic ribbon graph labeled by representations of SU(2). Spin networks are important in various areas of Mathematics (3-dimensional Quantum Topology), Physics (Angular Momentum, Classical and Quantum Gravity) and Chemistry (Atomic Spectroscopy). The evaluation of a spin network is an integer number. The main results of our paper are: (a) an existence theorem for the asymptoti...
متن کامل3 - dimensional Gravity from the Turaev - Viro Invariant
We study the q-deformed su(2) spin network as a 3-dimensional quantum gravity model. We show that in the semiclassical continuum limit the Turaev-Viro invariant obtained recently defines naturally regularized path-integral à la Ponzano-Regge, In which a contribution from the cosmological term is effectively included. The regularization dependent cosmological constant is found to be 4π 2 k2 +O(k...
متن کاملNear Extremal Kerr Entropy from AdS2 Quantum Gravity
We analyze the asymptotic symmetries of near extremal Kerr black holes in four dimensions using the AdS2/CFT1 correspondence. We find a Virasoro algebra with central charge cR = 12J that is independent from the Virasoro algebra (with the same central charge) that acts on the degenerate ground state. The energy of the excitations is computed as well, and we can use Cardy’s formula to determine t...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory
In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
