Abstract
We study the quantum deformation of the Barrett–Crane Lorentzian spin foam model which is conjectured to be the discretization of the Lorentzian Plebanski model with positive cosmological constant and includes, therefore, as a particular sector quantum gravity in de Sitter space. This spin foam model is constructed using harmonic analysis on the quantum Lorentz group. The evaluation of simple spin networks is shown to be non-commutative integrals over the quantum hyperboloid defined as a pile of fuzzy spheres. We show that the introduction of the cosmological constant removes all infrared divergences: for any fixed triangulation, the integration over the area variables is finite for a large class of normalization of the amplitude of the edges and of the faces.
