Grasping rules and semiclassical limit of the geometry in the Ponzano-Regge model
arXiv:gr-qc/0611097 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/24/6/010
Abstract
We show how the expectation values of geometrical quantities in 3d quantum gravity can be explicitly computed using grasping rules. We compute the volume of a labelled tetrahedron using the triple grasping. We show that the large spin expansion of this value is dominated by the classical expression, and we study the next to leading order quantum corrections.
