Finiteness of a spinfoam model for euclidean quantum general relativity
arXiv:gr-qc/0011058 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(01)00014-1
Abstract
We prove that a certain spinfoam model for euclidean quantum general relativity, recently defined, is finite: all its all Feynman diagrams converge. The model is a variant of the Barrett-Crane model, and is defined in terms of a field theory over SO(4) X SO(4) X SO(4) X SO(4).
