Path integral in the simplest Regge calculus model

Abstract

The simplest (3+1)D Regge calculus model (with three-dimensional discrete space and continuous time) is considered which describes evolution of the simplest closed two-tetrahedron piecewise flat manifold in the continuous time. The measure in the path integral which describes canonical quantisation of the model in terms of area bivectors and connections as independent variables is found. It is shown that selfdual-antiselfdual splitting of the variables simplifies the integral although does not admit complete separation of (anti-)selfdual sector.
