In four dimensions (4D), general relativity (GR) can be formulated as a constrained BF theory; we show that the same is true in 2D. We describe a spinfoam quantization of this constrained BF…

We provide the Barrett-Crane spin foam model for quantum gravity with a discrete action principle, consisting in the usual BF term with discretized simplicity constraints which in the continuum turn…
Spin foam quantization of $SO(4)$ Plebanski’s action
- Computer Science
- 2001
A spin foam model for Riemannian general relativity is introduced by systematically implementing constraints as restrictions on paths in the state-sum of the BF theory by treating classical Plebanski's action as a BF action supplemented by constraints.

We show that the partition function of the Ponzano-Regge quantum gravity model can be written as a sum over surfaces in a $(2+1)$ dimensional space-time. We suggest a geometrical meaning, in terms of…
An Introduction to spin foam models of quantum gravity and BF theory

In loop quantum gravity we now have a clear picture of the quantum geometry of space, thanks in part to the theory of spin networks. The concept of ‘spin foam’ is intended to serve as a similar…
