Spin Foam Models

Spin Foam Models is a theoretical framework in quantum gravity that represents the quantum geometry of spacetime as a piecewise-linear structure composed of discrete spacetime events, distinguishing itself by encoding gravitational path integrals through combinatorial and algebraic data associated with spin networks evolving in time.
