Spin Network Wavefunction and the Graviton Propagator

We show that if the flat-spacetime wavefunction in the spin network basis of Loop Quantum Gravity has a large-spin asymptotics given by Rovelli's ansatz then the corresponding graviton propagator has the correct large-distance asymptotics nonperturbatively and independently of the spin foam model used to describe the evolution operator. We also argue that even in the Rovelli approach the wavefunction should satisfy the Hamiltonian constraint and we give an explanation for the spin parameter appearing in Rovelli's ansatz.
