Abstract
We propose a new kind of coherent state for the general $SO(D+1)$ formulation of loop quantum gravity in the $(1+D)$-dimensional space-time. Instead of Thiemann's coherent state for $SO(D+1)$ gauge theory, our coherent spin-network state is given by constructing proper superposition over quantum numbers of the spin-networks with vertices labelled by the coherent intertwiners. Such superposition type coherent states are labelled by the so-called generalized twisted geometric variables which capture the geometric meaning of discretized general relativity. We study the basic properties of this kind of coherent states, i.e., the completeness and peakedness property. Moreover, we show that the superposition type coherent states are consistent with Thiemann's coherent state for $SO(D+1)$ gauge theory in large $\eta$ limit.
