Laplacians on discrete and quantum geometries
We extend discrete calculus for arbitrary (p-form) fields on embedded lattices to abstract discrete geometries based on combinatorial complexes. We then provide a general definition of discrete Laplacian using both the primal cellular complex and its combinatorial dual. The precise implementation of geometric volume factors is not unique and, comparing the definition with a circumcentric and a ...
متن کاملQuantum mechanics and gravity as preclusion principles of four dimensional geometries: discrete and continuous sample models
The goal of this paper is to employ a ”preclusion principle” originally suggested by Rafael Sorkin in order to come up with a relativistically covariant model of quantum mechanics and gravity. Space-time is viewed as geometry as opposed to dynamics, and ”unwanted” histories in that geometry are precluded.
متن کاملDiscrete States in Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity∗
We review the recent developments in the two-dimensional (super)gravity coupled to c(ĉ) ≤ 1 (super)conformal matter in the conformal gauge. Starting from a pedagogical account of the conformal anomaly in such a system, we show how the system is transformed into the representation in terms of the (free) Liouville field. Some perturbative justification is given to this procedure. The physical sta...
متن کاملSimulations of Discrete Random Geometries: Simplicial Quantum Gravity and Quantum String Theory
I investigate two discrete models of random geometries, namely simplicial quantum gravity and quantum string theory. In four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity, I show that the addition of matter gauge fields to the model is capable of changing its phase structure by replacing the branched polymers of the pure gravity model with a new phase that has a negative string susceptibility exponent...
