A 4d Lorentzian Spin Foam Model With Timelike Surfaces

We construct a 4d Lorentzian spin foam model capable of describing both spacelike and timelike surfaces. To do so we use a coherent state approach inspired by the Riemannian FK model. Using the coherent state method we reproduce the results of the EPRL model for Euclidean tetrahedra and extend the m...
