Quantum Gravity, Random Geometry and Critical Phenomena
We discuss the theory of non-critical strings with extrinsic curvature embedded in a target spac d greater than one. We emphasize the analogy between 2d gravity coupled to matter and non liquid-like membranes with bending rigidity. We rst outline the exact solution for strings in dime via the double scaling limit of matrix models and then discuss the diiculties of an extension to d > from recen...
متن کاملQuantum Geometry and Quantum Gravity
The purpose of this contribution is to give an introduction to quantum geometry and loop quantum gravity for a wide audience of both physicists and mathematicians. From a physical point of view the emphasis will be on conceptual issues concerning the relationship of the formalism with other more traditional approaches inspired in the treatment of the fundamental interactions in the standard mod...
متن کاملCombinatorial dynamics in quantum gravity
We describe the application of methods from the study of discrete dynamical systems to the study of histories of evolving spin networks. These have been found to describe the small scale structure of quantum general relativity and extensions of them have been conjectured to give background independent formulations of string theory. We explain why the the usual equilibrium second order critical ...
متن کاملQuantum Geometry from the Formalism of Loop Quantum Gravity
Introducing Quantum Geometry as a consequence of the quantisation procedure of loop quantum gravity. By recasting general relativity in terms of 1 2 -flat connections, specified by the Holst’s Modification to the Palatini action, we can recast general relativity as a gauge theory. By preforming a 3+1 split of space-time a Legendre transformation can be preformed to give an expression of the Ham...
متن کاملQuantum geometry of topological gravity
We study a c = −2 conformal field theory coupled to two-dimensional quantum gravity by means of dynamical triangulations. We define the geodesic distance r on the triangulated surface with N triangles, and show that dim[ rH ] = dim[N ], where the fractal dimension dH = 3.58 ± 0.04. This result lends support to the conjecture dH = −2α1/α−1, where α−n is the gravitational dressing exponent of a s...
