Scaling Dimensions of Lattice Quantized Gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

I discuss a model for quantized gravitation based on the simplicial lattice discretization. It has been studied in some detail using a comprehensive finite size scaling analysis combined with renormalization group methods. The results are consistent with a value for the universal critical exponent for gravitation ν=1/3\nu=1/3, and suggest a simple relationship between Newton's constant, the gravitational correlation length and the observable average space-time curvature. Some perhaps testable phenomenological implications are discussed, such as the scale dependence of Newton's constant and properties of quantum curvature fluctuations.
