“Spin foam models” is a book category focused on the covariant, path‑integral approach to quantum gravity that describes spacetime as discrete histories of quantum geometry. Drawing on loop quantum gravity and state‑sum/topological quantum field theory, spin foams are 2‑complexes labeled by group representations that define transition amplitudes between spin networks. Books in this category span accessible introductions and advanced research monographs covering the mathematical foundations (representation theory, BF theory, TQFT), key constructions and models (Ponzano–Regge, Barrett–Crane, EPRL/FK), asymptotics, renormalization and numerical methods, and connections to group field theory, lattice gauge theory, cosmology, and black hole physics. This category is aimed at physicists and mathematically inclined readers interested in discrete approaches to spacetime and the foundations of quantum gravity.
