We define for any 4-tetrahedron (4-simplex) the simplest finite closed piecewise flat manifold consisting of this 4-tetrahedron and of the one else 4-tetrahedron identical up to reflection to the present one (call it bisimplex built on the…

Regge action is represented analogously to how the Palatini action for general relativity (GR) as some functional of the metric and a general connection as independent variables represents the Einstein-Hilbert action. The piecewise flat (or…

We consider minisuperspace gravity system described by piecewise flat metric discontinuous on three-dimensional faces (tetrahedra). There are infinite terms in the Einstein action. However, starting from proper regularization, these terms…

Dynamics of a Regge three-dimensional (3D) manifold in a continuous time is considered. The manifold is closed consisting of the two tetrahedrons with identified corresponding vertices. The action of the model is that obtained via limiting…

We study the Faddeev formulation of gravity in which the metric is composed of vector fields. This system is reducible with the help of the equations of motion to the general relativity. The Faddeev action is evaluated for the piecewise…

Simplicial approximation and the ideas associated with the Regge calculus.provide a concrete way of implementing a sum over histories formulation ofquantum gravity. A four-dimensional simplicial geometry is made up of flat four-simplices…

We study Faddeev formulation of gravity, in which the metric is composed of vector fields. We consider these fields constant in the interior of the 4-simplices of a simplicial complex. The action depends not only on the values of the fields…

We review the construction of the path integral and the corresponding effective action for the Regge formulation of General Relativity under the assumption that the short-distance structure of the spacetime is not a smooth 4-manifold, but a…

Regge calculus minisuperspace action in the connection representation has the form in which each term is linear over some field variable (scale of area-type variable with sign). We are interested in the result of performing integration over…

We present a formulation of Regge Calculus where arbitrary coordinates are associated to each vertex of a simplicial complex and the degrees of freedom are given by the metric on each simplex. The lengths of the edges are thus determined…

Regge calculus minisuperspace action in the connection representation has the form in which each term is linear over some field variable (scale of area-type variable with sign). We are interested in the result of performing integration over…

Regge calculus is considered as a particular case of the more general system where the linklengths of any two neighbouring 4-tetrahedra do not necessarily coincide on their common face. This system is treated as that one described by metric…

The simplest (3+1)D Regge calculus model (with three-dimensional discrete space and continuous time) is considered which describes evolution of the simplest closed two-tetrahedron piecewise flat manifold in the continuous time. The measure…

We consider the notion of improved and perfect actions within Regge calculus. These actions are constructed in such a way that they - although being defined on a triangulation - reproduce the continuum dynamics exactly, and therefore…

A first order form of Regge calculus is defined in the spirit of Palatini's action for general relativity. The extra independent variables are the interior dihedral angles of a simplex, with conjugate variables the areas of the triangles.…

Euclidean quantum measure in Regge calculus with independent area tensors is considered using example of the Regge manifold of a simple structure. We go over to integrations along certain contours in the hyperplane of complex connection…

The convergence properties of numerical Regge calculus as an approximation to continuum vacuum General Relativity is studied, both analytically and numerically. The Regge equations are evaluated on continuum spacetimes by assigning squared…

A connection-independent formulation of general relativity is presented, in which the dynamics does not depend on the choice of connection. The gravity action in this formulation includes one additional scalar term in addition to the…

We investigate quantum gravity on simplicial lattices using Regge calculus with special emphasize on the problem of the unbounded action. The role of the entropy for the path integral is discussed in detail. Our numerical results show…

In the Faddeev formulation of gravity, the metric is regarded as composite field, bilinear of $d = 10$ 4-vector fields. We derive the minisuperspace (discrete) Faddeev action by evaluating the Faddeev action on the spacetime composed of the…
