The classical evaluation of relativistic spin networks (1998)
Journal Article

The evaluation of a relativistic spin network for the classical case of the Lie group SU(2) is given by an integral formula over copies of SU(2). For the graph determined by a 4-simplex this gives the evaluation as an integral over a space of geometr... Read More about The classical evaluation of relativistic spin networks.

Hexagonal patterns in finite domains (1998)
Journal Article

In many mathematical models for pattern formation, a regular hexagonal pattern is stable in an infinite region. However, laboratory and numerical experiments are carried out in finite domains, and this imposes certain constraints on the possible patt... Read More about Hexagonal patterns in finite domains.
