A finiteness proof for the Lorentzian state sum spinfoam model for quantum general relativity
arXiv:gr-qc/0104057
Abstract
We show that the normalized Lorentzian state sum is finite on any triangulation. It thus provides a candidate for a perturbatively finite quantum theory of general relativity in four dimensions with Lorentzian signature.
