International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2012 The central object of this paper is a holonomy formulation for spin foams. Within this new representation, we analyze three general requirements: locality, composition law and cylindrical consistency. In particular, cylindrical consistency is shown to fix the arbitrary normalization of the vertex amplitude in the case of Euclidean signature.

, 2016 I discuss how to impose causality on spin-foam models, separating forward and backward propagation, turning a given triangulation to a 'causal set', and giving asymptotically the exponential of the Regge action, not a cosine. I show the equivalence of the prescriptions which have been proposed to achieve this.

Invited review: The new spin foam models and quantum gravity [PDF]
Papers in Physics, 2012 In this article, we give a systematic definition of the recently introduced spin foam models for four-dimensional quantum gravity, reviewing the main results on their semiclassical limit on fixed discretizations.

Coarse Graining Spin Foam Quantum Gravity—A Review
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 In quantum gravity, we envision renormalization as the key tool for bridging the gap between microscopic models and observable scales. For spin foam quantum gravity, which is defined on a discretization akin to lattice gauge theories, the goal is to ...

Quantum gravity at the fifth root of unity
Physics Open, 2022 We consider quantum transition amplitudes, partition functions and observables for 3D spin foam models within SU(2)quantum group deformation symmetry, where the deformation parameter is postulated to be a complex fifth root of unity.

The Hessian in Spin Foam Models [PDF]
Annales Henri Poincaré, 2019 Abstract We fill one of the remaining gaps in the asymptotic analysis of the vertex amplitudes of the Engle–Pereira–Rovelli–Livine (EPRL) spin foam models: We show that the Hessian is nondegenerate for the stationary points that corresponds to geometric nondegenerate 4 simplices. Our analysis covers the case when all faces are spacelike.

Spin Foam Models from the Tetrad Integration [PDF]
, 2005 We describe a class of spin foam models of four-dimensional quantum gravity which is based on the integration of the tetrad one-forms in the path integral for the Palatini action of General Relativity.
