Combinatorial properties of the G-degree. (arXiv:1707.09031v2 [math.GT] UPDATED)

来源于:arXiv
A strong interaction is known to exist between edge-colored graphs (which encode PL pseudo-manifolds of arbitrary dimension) and random tensor models (as a possible approach to the study of Quantum Gravity). The key tool is the {\it G-degree} of the involved graphs, which drives the {\it $1/N$ expansion} in the tensor models context. In the present paper - by making use of combinatorial properties concerning Hamiltonian decompositions of the complete graph - we prove that, in any even dimension $d\ge 4$, the G-degree of all bipartite graphs, as well as of all (bipartite or non-bipartite) graphs representing singular manifolds, is an integer multiple of $(d-1)!$. As a consequence, in even dimension, the terms of the $1/N$ expansion corresponding to odd powers of $1/N$ are null in the complex context, and do not involve colored graphs representing singular manifolds in the real context. In particular, in the 4-dimensional case, where the G-degree is shown to depend only on the regular ge 查看全文>>
