Local gauge theory and coarse graining
Within the discrete gauge theory which is the basis of spin foam models, the problem of macroscopically faithful coarse graining is studied. Macroscopic data is identified; it contains the holonomy evaluation along a discrete set of loops and the ...

Human skin inherently forms a body‐coupled triboelectric circuit that enables the generation of triboelectric charges through contact between the skin surface and various materials. Integrated with an on‐finger, substrate‐free microfiber electrode, the material‐specific and personalized triboelectric signals can be imperceptibly collected for machine ...

Li(Co0.8Ni0.1Mn0.1)O2 and LiFePO4 cathode materials are functional recycled by simple leaching and co‐precipitation methods to synthesize Quaternary iron‐nickel‐cobalt‐manganese hydrotalcites as oxygen‐evolution‐reaction catalysts. The highly disordered structure and strong electronic interactions between metal cations result in excellent catalytic ...

We propose a spin foam model of four-dimensional quantum gravity which is based on the integration of the tetrads in the path integral for the Palatini action of General Relativity. In the Euclidian gravity case we show that the model can be understood as a modification of the Barrett-Crane spin foam model.
