Hadronic regge sequences as primitive realizations of SL(3,R) symmetry☆
Abstract Four primitive infinite dimensional unitary representations of the group of rotations and deformations - SL(3,R) - are constructed and associated with the four Regge trajectories: π, ϱ, N, Δ. The model predicts E2 transition moments and a power law for E versus j consistent with the Chew-Frautschi relation E∼j 1 2 .

Diquark color excitation and the narrow resonances
The new narrow resonances are interpreted in the three-triplet model with integral baryon numbers as diquark color excitations of the qq +- q-barq-bar type. Hadronic decays, ..gamma.. transitions, and coupling to ..gamma.. occur through impurity qq-bar admixtures. Except for the coupling to ..gamma.., all decay rates are suppressed. The enhancements above 4 GeV in hadronic cross sections are attributed to qq-bar color octets or still higher diquark levels. (AIP)

Quantum dyanmics of loop quantum gravity
In the last 20 years, loop quantum gravity, a background independent approach to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics, has been widely investigated. The aim of loop quantum gravity is to construct a mathematically rigorous, background independent, nonperturbative quantum theory for the Lorentzian gravitational field on a four-dimensional manifold. In this approach, the principles of quantum mechanics are combined with those of general relativity naturally. Such a combination provides us a picture of "quantum Riemannian geometry", which is discrete at a fundamental scale. In the investigation of quantum dynamics, the classical expressions of constraints are quantized as operators. The quantum evolution is contained in the solutions of the quantum constraint equations. On the other hand, the semi-classical analysis has to be carried out in order to test the semiclassical limit of the quantum dynamics. 
In this thesis, the structure of the dynamical theory in loop quantum gravity is presented pedagogically. The outline is as follows: first we review the classical formalism of general relativity as a dynamical theory of connections. Then the kinematical Ashtekar-Isham-Lewandowski representation is introduced as a foundation of loop quantum gravity. We discuss the construction of a Hamiltonian constraint operator and the master constraint programme, for both the cases of pure gravity and matter field coupling. Finally, some strategies are discussed concerning testing the semiclassical limit of the quantum dynamics.

Five-dimensional Brans-Dicke theory and cosmic acceleration
We consider a 5-dimensional scalar-tensor theory which is a direct generalization of the original 4-dimensional Brans-Dicke theory to five dimensions. By assuming that there is a hypersurface-orthogonal spacelike Killing vector field in the underlying 5-dimensional spacetime, the theory is reduced to a 4-dimensional theory where the 4-metric is coupled with two scalar fields. The cosmological implication of this reduced theory is then studied in the Robertson-Walker model. It turns out that the two scalar fields may account naturally for the present accelerated expansion of our universe. The observational restriction of the reduced cosmological model is also analyzed.

Asymptotics of spinfoam amplitude on simplicial manifold: Lorentzian theory
This paper studies the large-j asymptotics of the Lorentzian Engle–Pereira–Rovelli–Livine (EPRL) spinfoam amplitude on a 4D simplicial complex with an arbitrary number of simplices. The asymptotics of the spinfoam amplitude is determined by the critical configurations. Here we show that, given a critical configuration in general, there exists a partition of the simplicial complex into three types of regions and , where the three regions are simplicial sub-complexes with boundaries. The critical configuration implies different types of geometries in different types of regions, i.e. (1) the critical configuration restricted to implies a nondegenerate discrete Lorentzian geometry, (2) the critical configuration restricted to is degenerate of type-A in our definition of degeneracy, but it implies a nondegenerate discrete Euclidean geometry in , (3) the critical configuration restricted to is degenerate of type-B, and it implies a vector geometry in . With the critical configuration, we further make a subdivision of the regions and into sub-complexes (with boundaries) according to their Lorentzian/Euclidean oriented 4-volume V4(v) of the 4-simplices, such that sgn(V4(v)) is a constant sign on each sub-complex. Then in each sub-complex or , the spinfoam amplitude at the critical configuration gives the Regge action in a Lorentzian signature or an Euclidean signature respectively. The Regge action reproduced here contains a sign prefactor sgn(V4(v)) related to the oriented 4-volume of the 4-simplices. Therefore the Regge action reproduced here can be viewed as a discretized Palatini action with an on-shell connection. Finally, the asymptotic formula of the spinfoam amplitude is given by a sum of the amplitudes evaluated at all possible critical configurations, which are the products of the amplitudes associated with different types of geometries.

Commuting simplicity and closure constraints for 4D spin-foam models
Spin Foam Models are supposed to be discretised path integrals for quantum gravity constructed from the Plebanski-Holst action. The reason for there being several models currently under consideration is that no consensus has been reached for how to implement the simplicity constraints. Indeed, none of these models strictly follows from the original path integral with commuting B elds, rather, by some non standard manipulations one always ends up with non commuting B elds and the simplicity constraints become in fact anomalous which is the source for there being several inequivalent strategies to circumvent the associated problems. In this article, we construct a new Euclidian Spin Foam Model which is constructed by standard methods from the Plebanski-Holst path integral with commuting B elds discretised on a 4D simplicial complex. The resulting model diers from the current ones in several aspects, one of them being that the closure constraint needs special care. Only when dropping the closure constraint by hand and only in the large spin limit can the vertex amplitudes of this model be related to those of the FK Model but even then the face and edge amplitude dier. Interestingly, a non-commutative deformation of the B IJ variables leads from our new model to the BarrettCrane Model in the case of = 1.

A path integral for the master constraint of loop quantum gravity
In the present paper, we start from the canonical theory of loop quantum gravity and the master constraint program. The physical inner product is expressed by using the group averaging technique for a single self-adjoint master constraint operator. By the standard technique of skeletonization and the coherent state path integral, we derive a path-integral formula from the group averaging for the master constraint operator. Our derivation in this paper suggests there exists a direct link connecting the canonical loop quantum gravity with a path-integral quantization or a spin-foam model of general relativity.
