Canonical formulation of Poincare BFCG theory and its quantization
read the original abstract
We find the canonical formulation of the Poincare BFCG theory in terms of the spatial 2-connection and its canonically conjugate momenta. We show that the Poincare BFCG action is dynamically equivalent to the BF action for the Poincare group and we find the canonical transformation relating the two. We study the canonical quantization of the Poincare BFCG theory by passing to the Poincare-connection basis. The quantization in the 2-connection basis can be then achieved by performing a Fourier transform. We also briefly discuss how to approach the problem of constructing a basis of spin-foam states, which are the categorical generalization of the spin-network states from Loop Quantum Gravity.

A 3BF model of quantum gravity coupled to Standard Model matter
A 3BF higher-gauge model of quantum gravity with the full Standard Model is discretized on a piecewise-flat manifold, yielding a concrete path integral.
