Abstract

I define the lattice propagator on a very general collection of graphs, namely graphs locally isomorphic to Zd×Z\mathbb{Z}^{d}\times \mathbb{Z}. I then define polygonal approximations to the minkowski metric and define a corresponding lattice propagator for these. I show in d=1d=1, as suggested by the metric approximation, the continuum limit of the polygonal propagators converges to the Klien Gordon Propagator. Finally, I obtain the taxicab polygonal propagator in a very general collection of spaces, including Td\mathbb{T}^{d}, the Klein bottle, and a discretization of de-Sitter space.
