Regge's space-time skeletons and the quantization of 2d gravity

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Regge's method for regularizing euclidean quantum gravity is applied to two dimensional gravity. Using topologies with genus zero and two and a scale invariant measure, we show that the Regge method fails to reproduce the values of the string susceptibilities of the continuum model.
