摘要
A new method for nonperturbative investigations of quantum gravity is presented in which the simplicial path integral is approximated by the partition function of a spin system. This facilitates analytical and numerical computations considerably. In two dimensions equivalence to an Ising model with ternary couplings is recovered. First simulations in four dimensions indicate strong similarities to the phase structure of original Regge theory.
