The Ising transition in 2D simplicial quantum gravity - can Regge calculus be right?

Abstract

We report a high statistics simulation of Ising spins coupled to 2D quantum gravity in the Regge calculus approach using triangulated tori with up to 5122512^2 vertices. For the constant area ensemble and the dl/ldl/l functional measure we definitively can exclude the critical exponents of the Ising phase transition as predicted for dynamically triangulated surfaces. We rather find clear evidence that the critical exponents agree with the Onsager values for static regular lattices, independent of the coupling strength of an R2R^2 interaction term. For exploratory simulations using the lattice version of the Misner measure the situation is less clear.
