Sumario:This paper is twofold. First of all a complete uni ed picture of n -dimensional quantum gravity is proposed in the following sense: In spin foam models of quantum gravity the evaluation of spin networks play a very important role. These evaluations correspond to amplitudes which contribute in a state sum model of quantum gravity. In [6], the evaluation of spin networks as integrals over internal spaces was described. This evaluation was restricted to evaluations of spin networks in n -dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity. Here we propose that a similar method can be considered to include Lorentzian quantum gravity. We therefore describe the the evaluation of spin networks in the Lorentzian framework of spin foam models. We also include a limit of the Euclidean and Lorentzian spin foam models which we call Newtonian. This Newtonian limit was also considered in [10].
