The Spectral Dimension of the Branched Polymer Phase of Two-dimensional Quantum Gravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The metric of two-dimensional quantum gravity interacting with conformal matter is believed to collapse to a branched polymer metric when the central charge c > 1. We show analytically that the spectral dimension, dS, of such a branched polymer phase is 4 3 . This is in good agreement with numerical simulations for large c. PACS: 04.60.Nc, 5.20.-y, 5.60.+w

4d Simplicial Quantum Gravity: Matter Fields and the Corresponding Effective Action
Four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity is modified either by coupling it to U(1) gauge fields or by introducing a measure weighted by the orders of the triangles. Strong coupling expansion and Monte Carlo simulations are used. Although the two modifications of the standard pure-gravity model are apparently very distinct, they produce strikingly similar results, as far as the geometry of ra...
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 کامل4d Simplicial Quantum Gravity Interacting with Gauge Matter Fields
The effect of coupling non-compact U(1) gauge fields to four dimensional simplicial quantum gravity is studied using strong coupling expansions and Monte Carlo simulations. For one gauge field the back-reaction of the matter on the geometry is weak. This changes, however, as more matter fields are introduced. For more than two gauge fields the degeneracy of random manifolds into branched polyme...
متن کاملBalls in Boxes and Quantum Gravity
Four dimensional simplicial gravity has been studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations for some time [1], the main outcome of the studies being that the model undergoes a discontinuous phase transition [2] between an elongated and a crumpled phase when one changes the curvature (Newton) coupling. In the crumpled phase there are singular vertices growing extensively with the volume of the syst...
متن کاملThe Hausdorff dimension in polymerized quantum gravity
We calculate the Hausdorff dimension, dH , and the correlation function exponent, η, for polymerized two dimensional quantum gravity models. If the nonpolymerized model has correlation function exponent η0 > 3 then dH = γ −1 where γ is the susceptibility exponent. This suggests that these models may be in the same universality class as certain non-generic branched polymer models. PACS: 04.40.K
