Three-Dimensional Simplicial Gravity and Degenerate Triangulations
I define a model of three-dimensional simplicial gravity using an extended ensemble of triangulations where, in addition to the usual combinatorial triangulations, I allow degenerate triangulations, i.e. triangulations with distinct simplexes defined by the same set of vertexes. I demonstrate, using numerical simulations, that allowing this type of degeneracy substantially reduces the geometric...
متن کاملRandom Surfaces in Three-Dimensional Simplicial Gravity
A model of simplicial quantum gravity in three dimensions is investigated numerically based on the technique of the dynamical triangulation (DT). We are concerned with the surfaces appearing on boundaries (i.e., sections) of three-dimensional DT manifold with S3 topology. A new scaling behavior of genus distributions of boundary surfaces is found. Furthermore, these surfaces are compared with t...
متن کاملPhases and fractal structures of three-dimensional simplicial gravity
We study phases and fractal structures of three-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity by the Monte-Carlo method. After measuring the surface area distribution (SAD) which is the three-dimensional analog of the loop length distribution (LLD) in two-dimensional quantum gravity, we classify the fractal structures into three types: (i) in the hot (strong coupling) phase, strong gravity makes the s...
متن کاملOn the entropy bound of three dimensional simplicial gravity
It is proven that the partition function of 3-dimensional simplicial gravity has an exponential upper bound with the following assumption: any three dimensional sphere S is constructed by repeated identification of neighboring links and neighboring triangles in the boundary of a simplicial 3-ball. This assumption is weaker than the one proposed by other authors.
متن کاملSchwinger-Dyson equation in three-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity
We study the simplicial quantum gravity in three dimensions. Motivated by the Boulatov’s model which generates a sum over simplicial complexes weighted with the Turaev-Viro invariant, we introduce boundary operators in the simplicial gravity associated to compact orientable surfaces. An amplitude of the boundary operator is given by a sum over triangulations in the interior of the boundary surf...
