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...

We discuss the possibility of incorporating non-Riemannian parallel transport into Regge calculus. It is shown that every Regge lattice is locally equivalent to a space of constant curvature. Therefore well known-concepts of differential geometry imply the definition of an arbitrary linear affine connection on a Regge lattice.
متن کاملOn the linearization of Regge calculus
We study the linearization of three dimensional Regge calculus around Euclidean metric. We provide an explicit formula for the corresponding quadratic form and relate it to the curlt curl operator which appears in the quadratic part of the Einstein-Hilbert action and also in the linear elasticity complex. We insert Regge metrics in a discrete version of this complex, equipped with densily defin...
متن کاملFirst-order Regge Calculus
A rst order form of Regge calculus is de ned in the spirit of Palatini's action for general relativity. The extra independent variables are the interior dihedral angles of a simplex, with conjugate variables the areas of the triangles. There is a discussion of the extent to which these areas can be used to parameterise the space of edge lengths of a simplex. hep-th/9404124 Regge's equations of ...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Regge Calculus
While there has been some advance in the use of Regge calculus as a tool in numerical relativity, the main progress in Regge calculus recently has been in quantum gravity. After a brief discussion of this progress, attention is focussed on two particular, related aspects. Firstly, the possible definitions of diffeomorphisms or gauge transformations in Regge calculus are examined and examples ar...
