Dynamically Triangulating Lorentzian Quantum Gravity
Fruitful ideas on how to quantize gravity are few and far between. In this paper, we give a complete description of a recently introduced non-perturbative gravitational path integral whose continuum limit has already been investigated extensively in d < 4, with promising results. It is based on a simplicial regularization of Lorentzian space-times and, most importantly, possesses a well-defined...
متن کاملComputer Simulations of 3d Lorentzian Quantum Gravity
We investigate the phase diagram of non-perturbative three-dimensional Lorentzian quantum gravity with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. The system has a first-order phase transition at a critical value kc 0 of the bare inverse gravitational coupling constant k0. For k0 > k c 0 the system reduces to a product of uncorrelated Euclidean 2d gravity models and has no intrinsic interest as a mode...
متن کاملNon-perturbative 3d Lorentzian Quantum Gravity
We have recently introduced a discrete model of Lorentzian quantum gravity, given as a regularized non-perturbative state sum over simplicial Lorentzian spacetimes, each possessing a unique Wick rotation to Euclidean signature. We investigate here the phase structure of the Wick-rotated path integral in three dimensions with the aid of computer simulations. After fine-tuning the cosmological co...
متن کاملCritical Behavior of Dynamically Triangulated Quantum Gravity in Four Dimensions
We performed detailed study of the phase transition region in Four Dimensional Simplicial Quantum Gravity, using the dynamical triangulation approach. The phase transition between the Gravity and Antigravity phases turned out to be asymmetrical, so that we observed the scaling laws only when the Newton constant approached the critical value from perturbative side. The curvature susceptibility d...
متن کاملDiscrete Lorentzian Quantum Gravity
Just as for non-abelian gauge theories at strong coupling, discrete lattice methods are a natural tool in the study of non-perturbative quantum gravity. They have to reflect the fact that the geometric degrees of freedom are dynamical, and that therefore also the lattice theory must be formulated in a background-independent way. After summarizing the status quo of discrete covariant lattice mod...
