Low-energy limit of spin foam theories

Spin foam theory defines a regularized, background-independent, covariant Lorentz path integral for quantum gravity on a discretization of 4D spacetime. The theory assigns transition amplitudes to the LQG states associated with the boundary of the triangulation, providing them with a dynamic. I study the theory's low energy regime and how general relativity emerges from it (or a discrete version of it).
