The classical evaluation of relativistic spin networks (1998)
Journal Article
Barrett, J. W. (1998). The classical evaluation of relativistic spin networks. https://doi.org/10.4310/atmp.1998.v2.n3.a7

The evaluation of a relativistic spin network for the classical case of the Lie group SU(2) is given by an integral formula over copies of SU(2). For the graph determined by a 4-simplex this gives the evaluation as an integral over a space of geometr... Read More about The classical evaluation of relativistic spin networks.
