Algebraic structures in quantum gravity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Starting from a recently-introduced algebraic structure on spin foam models, we define a Hopf algebra by dividing with an appropriate quotient. The structure, thus defined, naturally allows for a mirror analysis of spin foam models with quantum field theory, from a combinatorial point of view. A grafting operator is introduced allowing for the equivalent of a Dyson-Schwinger equation to be written. Non-trivial examples are explicitly worked out. Finally, the physical significance of the results is discussed.
