Further evidence that the transition of 4d dynamical triangulation is 1st order

چکیده
We confirm recent claims that, contrary to what was generally believed, the phase transition of the dynamical triangulation model of four-dimensional quantum gravity is of first order. We have looked at this at a volume of 64, 000 four-simplices, where the evidence in the form of a double peak histogram of the action is quite clear.

The phase transition of 4D simplicial quantum gravity coupled to U (1) gauge fields is studied using Monte-Carlo simulations. The phase transition of the dynamical triangulation model with a vector field (NV = 1) is smooth compared with pure gravity(NV = 0). The node susceptibility (χ) is studied by the finite size scaling method. At the critical point, the node distribution has a sharp peak in...

The phase transition of 4D simplicial quantum gravity coupled to U (1) gauge fields is studied using Monte-Carlo simulations. The phase transition of the dynamical triangulation model with vector field (NV = 1) is smooth as compared with the pure gravity(NV = 0). The node susceptibility (χ) is studied in the finite size scaling method. At the critical point, the node distribution has a sharp pe...
متن کاملCurvature and scaling in 4D dynamical triangulation
We study the average number of simplices N (r) at geodesic distance r in the dynamical triangulation model of euclidean quantum gravity in four dimensions. We use N (r) to explore definitions of curvature and of effective global dimension. An effective curvature RV goes from negative values for low κ2 (the inverse bare Newton constant) to slightly positive values around the transition κ2. Far a...
متن کاملTwo-point functions in 4D dynamical triangulation
In the dynamical triangulation model of 4D euclidean quantum gravity we measure two-point functions of the scalar curvature as a function of the geodesic distance. To get the correlations it turns out that we need to subtract a squared one-point function which, although this seems paradoxical, depends on the distance. At the transition and in the elongated phase we observe a power law behaviour...
متن کاملVolume dependence of the phase boundary in 4D dynamical triangulation
The number of configurations of the dynamical triangulation model of 4D euclidean quantum gravity appears to grow faster than exponentially with the volume, with the implication that the system would end up in the crumpled phase for any fixed κ2 (inverse bare Newton constant). However, a scaling region is not excluded if we allow κ2 to go to infinity together with the volume. email: [email protected]...
