Group field theory and simplicial quantum gravity
We present a new group field theory for 4D quantum gravity. It incorporates the constraints that give gravity from BF theory and has quantum amplitudes with the explicit form of simplicial path integrals for first-order gravity. The geometric interpretation of the variables and of the contributions to the quantum amplitudes is manifest. This allows a direct link with other simplicial gravity ap...
متن کاملSchwinger-Dyson Equlltion in Three-Dimensional Simplicial Quantum Gravity
We study the simplicial quantum gravity in three dimensions. Motivated by 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 surface....
متن کاملOn the measure in simplicial gravity
Functional measures for lattice quantum gravity should agree with their continuum counterparts in the weak field, low momentum limit. After showing that the standard simplicial measure satisfies the above requirement, we prove that a class of recently proposed non-local measures for lattice gravity do not satisfy such a criterion, already to lowest order in the weak field expansion. We argue th...

متن کاملCritical phenomena for Riemannian manifolds: Simple Homotopy and simplicial quantum gravity
Simplicial quantum gravity is an approach to quantizing gravity by using as a regularization scheme dynamical triangulations of riemannian manifolds. In dimension two, such an approach has led to considerable progress in our understanding of 2D-gravity. In dimension three and four, the current state of affairs is less favourable, and dynamically triangulated models of quantum gravity suffer fro...

We analyze two models of random geometries : planar hyper-cubic random surfaces and four dimensional simplicial quantum gravity. We show for the hyper-cubic random surface model that a geometrical constraint does not change the critical properties of the model compared to the model without this constraint. We analyze the phase diagram for the model with extrinsic curvature. For four dimensional...
