Topology in 4D simplicial quantum gravity

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We simulate 4d simplicial gravity for three topologis S4, S3xS1, (S1)^4 and show that the free energy for these three fixed topology ensembles is the same in the thermodynamic limit. We show, that the next-to-leading order corrections, at least away from the critical point, can be described by kinematic sources.
