Numerical study for the c-dependence of fractal dimension in two-dimensional quantum gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We numerically investigate the fractal structure of two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to matter central charge c for −2 ≤ c ≤ 1. We reformulate Q-state Potts model into the model which can be identified as a weighted percolation cluster model and can make continuous change of Q, which relates c, on the dynamically triangulated lattice. The c-dependence of the critical coupling is measured from the percolation probability and susceptibility. The c-dependence of the string susceptibility of the quantum surface is evaluated and has very good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The c-dependence of the fractal dimension based on the finite size scaling hypothesis is measured and has excellent agreement with one of the theoretical predictions previously proposed except for the region near c ≈ 1.

The Ising model on a Quenched Ensemble of c = −5 Gravity Graphs
We study with Monte Carlo methods an ensemble of c = −5 gravity graphs, generated by coupling a conformal field theory with central charge c = −5 to two-dimensional quantum gravity. We measure the fractal properties of the ensemble, such as the string susceptibility exponent γs and the intrinsic fractal dimensions dH . We find γs = −1.5(1) and dH = 3.36(4), in reasonable agreement with theoreti...
متن کاملRandom Surfaces and Lattice Gravity
In this talk I review some of the recent developments in the field of random surfaces and the Dynamical Triangulation approach to simplicial quantum gravity. In two dimensions I focus on the c = 1 barrier and the fractal dimension of two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to matter with emphasis on the comparison of analytic predictions and numerical simulations. Next is a survey of the curren...
متن کاملFractal Structures of Quantum Gravity in Two Dimensions
Recent numerical results on the fractal structure of two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to c = −2 matter are reviewed. Analytic derivation of the fractal dimensions based on the Liouville theory and diffusion equation is also discussed. Excellent agreements between the numerical and theoretical results are obtained. Some problems on the non-universal nature of the fractal structure in the ...
متن کاملScaling and the Fractal Geometry of Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
We examine the scaling of geodesic correlation functions in two-dimensional gravity and in spin systems coupled to gravity. The numerical data support the scaling hypothesis and indicate that the quantum geometry develops a nonperturbative length scale. The existence of this length scale allows us to extract a Hausdorff dimension. In the case of pure gravity we find dH ≈ 3.8, in support of rece...
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...
