Constraints on area variables in Regge calculus
We describe a general method of obtaining the constraints between area variables in one approach to area Regge calculus, and illustrate it with a simple example. The simplicial complex is the simplest tessellation of the 4-sphere. The number of independent constraints on the variations of the triangle areas is shown to be equal to the difference between the numbers of triangles and edges. A gen...
متن کاملVariation of Area Variables in Regge Calculus
We consider the possibility to use the areas of two-simplexes, instead of lengths of edges, as the dynamical variables of Regge calculus. We show that if the action of Regge calculus is varied with respect to the areas of two-simplexes, and appropriate constraints are imposed between the variations, the Einstein-Regge equations are recovered.
متن کاملArea Regge Calculus and Discontinuous Metrics
Taking the triangle areas as independent variables in the theory of Regge calculus can lead to ambiguities in the edge lengths, which can be interpreted as discontinuities in the metric. We construct solutions to area Regge calculus using a triangulated lattice and find that on a spacelike hypersurface no such discontinuity can arise. On a null hypersurface however, we can have such a situation...
متن کاملA Note on Area Variables in Regge Calculus
We consider the possibility of setting up a new version of Regge calculus in four dimensions with areas of triangles as the basic variables rather than the edgelengths. The difficulties and restrictions of this approach are discussed. In three dimensions, the topological invariant for three-manifolds constructed by Turaev and Viro [1] reduces in the semi-classical limit to the expression writte...
متن کاملDynamical Regge Calculus as Lattice Quantum Gravity
We propose a hybrid model of simplicial quantum gravity by performing at once dynamical triangulations and Regge calculus. A motive for the hybridization is to give a dynamical description of topology-changing processes of Euclidean spacetime. In addition, lattice diffeomorphisms as invariance of the simplicial geometry are generated by certain elementary moves in the model. We attempt also a l...
