چکیده
We study 4d simplicial quantum gravity in the dynamical triangulation approach with a non-trivial class of measures. We find that the measure contribution plays an important role, influencing the phase diagram and the nature of the (possible) critical theory. We discuss how the lattice theory could be used to fix the quantum measure in a non-ambiguous

A thorough numerical examination for the field theory of 4D quantum gravity (QG) with a special emphasis on the conformal mode dependence has been studied. More clearly than before, we obtain the string susceptibility exponent of the partition function by using the Grand-Canonical Monte-Carlo method. Taking thorough care of the update method, the simulation is made for 4D Euclidean simplicial m...

Four-dimensional (4D) simplicial quantum gravity coupled to both scalar fields (NX) and gauge fields (NA) has been studied using Monte-Carlo simulations. The matter dependence of the string susceptibility exponent γ (4) is estimated. Furthermore, we compare our numerical results with Background-Metric-Independent (BMI) formulation conjectured to describe the quantum field theory of gravity in 4...
متن کامل4d Simplicial Quantum Gravity: Matter Fields and the Corresponding Effective Action
Four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity is modified either by coupling it to U(1) gauge fields or by introducing a measure weighted by the orders of the triangles. Strong coupling expansion and Monte Carlo simulations are used. Although the two modifications of the standard pure-gravity model are apparently very distinct, they produce strikingly similar results, as far as the geometry of ra...
متن کاملTopology of Boundary Surfaces in 3D Simplicial Gravity
Recent numerical results obtained by dynamical triangulation for 3D and 4D suggest the existence of scaling behavior: for example, the number of simplexes at geodesic distance r, the fractal dimension and the volume of boundaries[1,2]. Furthermore, analytical results of 4D QG show scaling relations of the partition function[3]. The purpose here is to further explore the boundary surfaces of 3D ...
متن کاملGroup field theory and simplicial quantum gravity
We present a new group field theory for 4D quantum gravity. It incorporates the constraints that give gravity from BF theory and has quantum amplitudes with the explicit form of simplicial path integrals for first-order gravity. The geometric interpretation of the variables and of the contributions to the quantum amplitudes is manifest. This allows a direct link with other simplicial gravity ap...
