Starting with a gentle approach to the Alday–Gaiotto–Tachikawa (AGT) correspondence
from its 6d origin, these notes provide a wide (albeit shallow) survey of the literature on …

Numerical methods are a powerful tool for doing calculations in spinfoam theory. We review
the major frameworks available, their definition, and various applications. We start from …

We compute numerically the Lorentzian Engle-Pereira-Rovelli-Livine spinfoam propagator
on a 4-simplex, by adapting the Lefschetz thimble and Markov chain Monte-Carlo methods …

Spin foams provide path integrals for quantum gravity, which employ discretizations as
regulator. To obtain regulator independent predictions, we must remove these fiducial …

The first computation of a spin foam dynamics that provides a test of the quantum equations
of motions of gravity is presented. Specifically, a triangulation that includes an inner edge is …

Abstract Jalalzadeh (2022), established that the thermodynamical entropy of a quantum-
deformed black hole with horizon area A can be written as S q= π sin A 8 GN/sin π 2 N …

We study the expectation value of a nonplanar Wilson graph operator in SL (2, C) Chern–
Simons theory on S 3. In particular we analyze its asymptotic behavior in the double-scaling …

We revisit the the large spin asymptotics of 15j symbols in terms of cosines of the 4d
Euclidean Regge action, as derived by Barrett and collaborators using a saddle point …

In this work we study canonical gravity in finite regions for which we introduce a
generalization of the Gibbons-Hawking boundary term including the Immirzi parameter. We …

The relation between loop quantum gravity (LQG) and tensor networks is explored from the
perspectives of the bulk-boundary duality and holographic entanglement entropy. We find …
