Quantum-Gravity Path-Integrals on Simplicial Lattices
Abstract
Euclidean quantum-gravity path-integrals are investigated within Regge calculus by computer simulations. The domain of integration is restricted by introducing a lower limit for the fatness of each simplex. We use the standard hypercubic triangulation of the 4-torus and irregularly triangulated lattices obtained by inserting a small number of vertices using barycentric subdivision. For limited fatness we find an entropy dominated phase with small negative curvature both for the regular and the irregular triangulation.
