Abstract

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 the random surfaces generated by the two-dimensional DT method which are well known as a correct discretized method of the two-dimensional quantum gravity.
