Title:   Unexpected connections between the spincube model and two other QG models
Abstract:
We will discuss two interesting results related to the spincube model of quantum gravity. The first result is the connection between the constrained BFCG action and MacDowell-Mansouri action as the second-order theory. The second result represents the spincube model of QG as a generalization of the Causal Dynamical Triangulations approach to QG. This generalization is an unexpected and surprising result, given the structure of the Diophantine equations which relate the two theories.
