Scaling 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 کاملScaling and Quantum Geometry in 2d Gravity
The geometry of quantum spacetime of 2d gravity in the presence of conformal matter with c ≤ 1 is the last important problem in those models which is not yet fully understood. Although it is quite clear [1] that pure gravity (c=0) gives rise to a fractal structure with Hausdorff dimension dh = 4 which becomes manifest by the self similar distribution of geodesic boundary loop lengths at all geo...
متن کاملConformal Fractal Geometry & Boundary Quantum Gravity
This article gives a comprehensive description of the fractal geometry of conformally-invariant (CI) scaling curves, in the plane or half-plane. It focuses on deriving critical exponents associated with interacting random paths, by exploiting an underlying quantum gravity (QG) structure, which uses KPZ maps relating exponents in the plane to those on a random lattice, i.e., in a fluctuating met...
متن کاملScaling Functions for Baby Universes in Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
We apply the recently proposed transfer matrix formalism to 2-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to (2, 2k − 1) minimal models. We find that the propagation of a parent universe in geodesic (Euclidean) time is accompanied by continual emission of baby universes and derive a distribution function describing their sizes. The k → ∞ (c → −∞) limit is generally thought to correspond to classical ge...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
We show equivalence between the standard weak coupling regime c > 25 of the the two-dimensional quantum gravity and regime h < 1/2 of the original geometric approach of Polyakov [1, 2], developed in [3, 4, 5]. 1 In this letter I shall demonstrate the equivalence of two approaches to the twodimensional quantum gravity. The first approach, called geometric, goes back to Polyakov’s original discov...
