Abstract

Gravity theories are constructed on finite groups G. A self-consistent review of the differential calculi on finite G is given, with some new developments. The example of a bicovariant differential calculus on the nonabelian finite group S_3 is treated in detail, and used to build a gravity-like field theory on S_3.
