Aspects of self-dual Yang-Mills and self-dual gravity by Chattopadhyay, Pratik

“…These amplitudes have long been conjectured to be interpreted as an anomaly and are recently linked to the UV divergence of two-loop quantum gravity. In the first part of the thesis, we study the loop amplitudes in self-dual Yang-Mills. …”

Emergent spacetime properties from entanglement by Colafrancheschi, Eugenia

“…These are graphs coloured by quantum data encoding the geometric properties of elementary portions of space dual to their vertices, primarily known for providing a basis of the kinematic Hilbert space of loop quantum gravity. Our work starts with a characterization of spin networks as the entanglement skeleton of many-body states describing collections of “space quanta” in group field theory, a quantum gravity approach conceived to be a field theory of spacetime and interpreted as a second-quantization of loop quantum gravity. …”

EPRL/FK asymptotics and the flatness problem by Camoes de Oliveira, Jose Ricardo

“…In order to provide context to the discussion, first we will briefly introduce spin foam models as a state sum formulation of Loop Quantum Gravity, the canonical quantization program of Einstein's theory, giving a short review of the LQG formalism and the issues that led to the construction of spin foams. …”
