We consider causal 3-dimensional triangulations with the topology of $S^2\times [0,1]$ or $D^2\times [0,1]$ where $S^2$ and $D^2$ are the two-dimensional sphere and disc, respectively. These triangulations consist of slices and we show that…
Matrix models have phase transitions in which distributions of variables change topologically like the Gross-Witten-Wadia transition. In a recent study, similar splitting-merging behavior of distributions of dynamical variables was observed…
