Research Summary
Qiaoyin Pan studies loop quantum gravity, spinfoam models, quantum groups, and topological field theory, with a focus on how discrete quantum-geometric data encode curved spacetime. Her recent work on quantum curved tetrahedra and quantum-group intertwiner spaces develops the local building blocks of spinfoam geometry, while work on critical points, Hessians, and complex Chern-Simons theory analyzes the semiclassical behavior of spinfoam amplitudes with a cosmological constant. Related studies of generalized Minkowski theorems, holomorphic blocks, and SU_q(2) lattice gauge observables connect this discrete approach to three-dimensional gravity and quantum topology.
