Abstract
We numerically study the next-to-leading order corrections of the Lorentzian Engle-Pereira-Rovelli-Livine (EPRL) 4-simplex amplitude in the large- expansions. We perform large- expansions of Lorentzian EPRL 4-simplex amplitudes with two different types of boundary states, the coherent intertwiners and the coherent spin-network, and numerically compute the leading-order and the next-to-leading order contributions of these amplitudes. We also study the dependences of these corrections on the Barbero-Immirzi parameter . We show that they, as functions of , stabilize to finite real constants as . Lastly, we obtain the quantum corrections to the Regge action because of the contribution to the spinfoam amplitude.
