Fractal Structure of 4D Euclidean Simplicial Manifold

چکیده
The fractal properties of four-dimensional Euclidean simplicial manifold generated by the dynamical triangulation are analyzed on the geodesic distance D between two vertices instead of the usual scale between two simplices. In order to make more unambiguous measurement of the fractal dimension, we employ a different approach from usual, by measuring the box-counting dimension which is computed by counting the number of spheres with the radius D within the manifold. The numerical result is consistent to the result of the random walk model in the branched polymer region. We also measure the box-counting dimension of the manifold with additional matter fields. Numerical results suggest that the fractal dimension takes value of slightly more than 4 near the critical point. Furthermore, we analyze the correlation functions as functions of the geodesic distance. Numerically, it is suggested that the fractal structure of four-dimensional simplicial manifold can be properly analyzed in terms of the distance between two vertices. Moreover, we show that the behavior of the correlation length regards the phase structure of 4D simplicial manifold.

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...
متن کاملA scalable data structure for three-dimensional non-manifold objects
In this paper, we address the problem of representing and manipulating non-manifold, mixed-dimensional objects described by three-dimensional simplicial complexes embedded in the 3D Euclidean space. We describe the design and the implementation of a new data structure, that we call the non-manifold indexed data structure with adjacencies (NMIA), which can represent any three-dimensional Euclide...
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 ...

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...
