(2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity, spin networks and asymptotics

Abstract

A method to evaluate spin networks for (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity is given. We analyse the evaluation of spin networks for Lorentzian, Euclidean and a new limiting case of Newtonian quantum gravity. Particular attention is paid to the tetrahedron and to the study of its asymptotics. Moreover, we propose that all this technique can be extended to spin networks for quantum gravity in any dimension.
