A 4d Lorentzian Spin Foam Model With Timelike Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-07)We construct a 4d Lorentzian spin foam model capable of describing both spacelike and timelike surfaces. To do so we use a coherent state approach inspired by the Riemannian FK model. Using the coherent state method we ... -
5-Choosability of Planar-plus-two-edge Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-02)We prove that graphs that can be made planar by deleting two edges are 5-choosable. To arrive at this, first we prove an extension of a theorem of Thomassen. Second, we prove an extension of a theorem Postle and Thomas. ... -
