Conserved Quantities and the Algebra of Braid Excitations in Quantum Gravity
Abstract
Description
We derive conservation laws from interactions of braid-like excitations of embedded framed spin networks in Quantum Gravity. We also demonstrate that the set of stable braid-like excitations form a noncommutative algebra under braid interaction, in which the set of actively-interacting braids is a subalgebra.
