Topology change in quantum gravity
A particular approach to topology change in quantum gravity is reviewed, showing that several aspects of Stephen's work are intertwined with it in an essential way. Speculations are made on possible implications for the causal set approach to quantum gravity.
متن کاملTopology in 4d Simplicial Quantum Gravity
We simulate 4d simplicial gravity for three topologies S, S S and S S S S and show that the free energy for these three xed topology ensembles is the same in the thermodynamic limit N4 !1. We show, that the next-to-leading order corrections, at least away from the critical point, can be described by kinematic sources.
متن کاملTopology, Quantum Gravity and Particle Physics
It is argued that quantum gravity has an interpretation as a topological quantum field theory provided a certain constraint from the path integral measure is respected. The constraint forces us to couple gauge and matter fields to gravity for space time dimensions different from 3. We then discuss possible models which may be relevant to our universe.

متن کاملTopology Changes in ( 2 + 1 ) - Dimensional Quantum
February 3, 1998 Topology Changes in (2+1)-Dimensional Quantum Gravity Yoshihisa FUJIWARA, Saburo HIGUCHI1 , Akio HOSOYA2 , Takashi MISHIMA3 and Masaru SIINO Department of Physics, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Oh-Okayama Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152, Japan ABSTRACT We study topology changing processes in (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant. By playing the `gluing-man...
متن کاملImpact of topology in foliated quantum Einstein gravity
We use a functional renormalization group equation tailored to the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formulation of gravity to study the scale dependence of Newton's coupling and the cosmological constant on a background spacetime with topology [Formula: see text]. The resulting beta functions possess a non-trivial renormalization group fixed point, which may provide the high-energy completion of the theor...
