abstract
The complex critical points are analyzed in the 4-dimensional Lorentzian Engle-Pereira-Rovelli-Livine (EPRL) spinfoam model in the large-$j$ regime. For the 4-simplex amplitude, taking into account the complex critical point generalizes the large-$j$ asymptotics to the situation with non-Regge boundary data and relates to the twisted geometry. For generic simplicial complexes, we present a general procedure to derive the effective theory of Regge geometries from the spinfoam amplitude in the large-$j$ regime by using the complex critical points. The effective theory is analyzed in detail for the spinfoam amplitude on the double-$\Delta_3$ simplicial complex. We numerically compute the effective action and the solution of the effective equation of motion on the double-$\Delta_3$ complex. The effective theory reproduces the classical Regge gravity when the Barbero-Immirzi parameter $\gamma$ is small.

(2+1) Lorentzian quantum cosmology from spin-foams: opportunities and obstacles for semi-classicality
A 2+1 Lorentzian spin-foam cosmology model with a Hessian-derived measure and a massive scalar field yields convergent partition functions, with semi-classical expectation values only in the causally regular sector an...
