4d Simplicial Quantum Gravity Interacting with Gauge Matter Fields
The effect of coupling non-compact U(1) gauge fields to four dimensional simplicial quantum gravity is studied using strong coupling expansions and Monte Carlo simulations. For one gauge field the back-reaction of the matter on the geometry is weak. This changes, however, as more matter fields are introduced. For more than two gauge fields the degeneracy of random manifolds into branched polyme...
متن کامل4d Simplicial Quantum Gravity: Matter Fields and the Corresponding Effective Action
Four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity is modified either by coupling it to U(1) gauge fields or by introducing a measure weighted by the orders of the triangles. Strong coupling expansion and Monte Carlo simulations are used. Although the two modifications of the standard pure-gravity model are apparently very distinct, they produce strikingly similar results, as far as the geometry of ra...
متن کاملAbelian gauge fields coupled to simplicial quantum gravity
We study the coupling of Abelian gauge theories to four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity. The gauge fields live on dual links. This is the correct formulation if we want to compare the effect of gauge fields on geometry with similar effects studied so far for scalar fields. It shows that gauge fields couple equally weakly to geometry as scalar fields, and it offers an understanding of the...
متن کاملTopology in 4d Simplicial Quantum Gravity
We simulate 4d simplicial gravity for three topologies S, S S and S S S S and show that the free energy for these three xed topology ensembles is the same in the thermodynamic limit N4 !1. We show, that the next-to-leading order corrections, at least away from the critical point, can be described by kinematic sources.
متن کاملScaling Behavior in 4D Simplicial Quantum Gravity
Scaling relations in four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity are proposed using the concept of the geodesic distance. Based on the analogy of a loop length distribution in the two-dimensional case, the scaling relations of the boundary volume distribution in four dimensions are discussed in three regions: the strong-coupling phase, the critical point and the weak-coupling phase. In each pha...
