abstract
A known realization of the Lorentz group Racah coefficients is given by an integral of a product of 6 ``propagators'' over 4 copies of the hyperbolic space. These are ``bulk-to-bulk'' propagators in that they are functions of two points in the hyperbolic space. It is known that the bulk-to-bulk propagator can be constructed out of two bulk-to-boundary ones. We point out that there is another way to obtain the same object. Namely, one can use two bulk-to-boundary and one boundary-to-boundary propagator. Starting from this construction and carrying out the bulk integrals we obtain a realization of the Racah coefficients that is ``holographic'' in the sense that it only involves boundary objects. This holographic realization admits a geometric interpretation in terms of an ``extended'' tetrahedron.

Triangulating quantum gravity in AdS$_3$
The fixed-angle gravitational path integral in AdS3 equals a Conformal Turaev-Viro partition function, the fixed-length path integral equals a Virasoro TQFT amplitude squared, and the semiclassical geometries are built from generalized hyperbolic tetrahedra.
