In paper http://www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0210051 A. Mikovic claims that one can somehow insert
the volume operator in the Barrett-Crane vertex amplitude such that he
obtains a spin network (eq. (37)). However he does not provide a proof
of this. Also Oriti & Pfeiffer in http://www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0207041 say that this is true
(eq. 3.17), but they don't prove this (because their approach is
different).
Can anyone please give me a hint of how to prove this (or at least
give me some reference)?

Thank you!
