A Ponzano-Regge model of Lorentzian 3-Dimensional gravity
We present the construction of the partition function of 3-dimensional gravity in the Lorentzian regime as a state sum model over a triangulation. This generalize the work of Ponzano and Regge to the case of Lorentzian signature.
متن کاملLattice Chern-Simons Gravity via Ponzano-Regge Model
We propose a lattice version of Chern-Simons gravity and show that the partition function coincides with Ponzano-Regge model and the action leads to the Chern-Simons gravity in the continuum limit. The action is explicitly constructed by lattice dreibein and spin connection and is shown to be invariant under lattice local Lorentz transformation and gauge diffeomorphism. The action includes the ...
متن کاملA reformulation of the Ponzano-Regge quantum gravity model in terms of surfaces
We reformulate the Ponzano-Regge quantum gravity model in terms of surfaces on a 3-dimensional simplex lattice. This formulation (1) has a clear relation to the loop representation of the canonical quantum general relativity in 3-dimensions, (2) may have a 4-dimensional analogue, in contrast to the 6-j symbolic formalism of the PonzanoRegge model, and (3) is purely a theory of surfaces, in the ...
متن کاملA definition of the Ponzano-Regge quantum gravity model in terms of surfaces
The Ponzano-Regge quantum gravity model has been a mystery since the time of its construction [1]. Ponzano and Regge found an unexpected relation between the 6j-symbol and Regge’s discrete version of the action functional of (Euclidean) general relativity in 3-dimensions. The description of the relation follows. Consider a 3-dimensional simplex manifold, which consists of tetrahedra whose faces...
متن کاملA Deenition of the Ponzano-regge Quantum Gravity Model in Terms of Surfaces
We show that the partition function of the Ponzano-Regge quantum gravity model can be written as a sum over surfaces in a (2+1) dimensional space-time. We suggest a geometrical meaning, in terms of surfaces, for the (regulated) divergences that appear in the partition function.
