The semiclassical limit of a 4-simplex amplitude for a spin foam quantum gravity model with an Immirzi parameter is studied. If the boundary state represents a non-degenerate 4-simplex geometry, the asymptotic formula contains the Regge action for general relativity. A canonical choice of phase for the boundary state is introduced and is shown to be necessary to obtain the results.

    In a path-integral model of timeless quantum systems, time evolution arises when a clock is prepared in a semiclassical state, showing that the cosine problem in quantum gravity follows from time-reversal invariance a...
