The Regge Calculus is a powerful method to approximate a continuous manifold by a simplicial lattice, keeping the connectivities of the underlying lattice fixed and taking the edge lengths as degrees of freedom. The Discrete Regge Model…

We examine the phase structure of pure Regge gravity in four dimensions and compare our Monte Carlo results with $Z_2$-link Regge-theory as well as with another formulation of lattice gravity derived from group theoretical considerations.…
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…
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…
Standard Regge Calculus provides an interesting method to explore quantum gravity in a non-perturbative fashion but turns out to be a CPU-time demanding enterprise. One therefore seeks for suitable approximations which retain most of its…
An approximation of the Standard Regge Calculus (SRC) was proposed by the $Z_2$-Regge Model ($Z_2$RM). There the edge lengths of the simplicial complexes are restricted to only two possible values, both always compatible with the triangle…
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…
We have verified various proposals that were suggested in our last paper concerning the continuum limit of a compact formulation of the lattice U(1) pure gauge theory in 4 dimensions using a nonperturbative gauge-fixed regularization. Our…
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…
We study the Regge regime of QCD as a special regime of lattice gauge theory on an asymmetric lattice. This lattice has a spacing $a_0 $ in the longitudinal direction and a spacing $a_t $ in the transversal direction. The limit…
We consider two versions of quantum Regge calculus. The Standard Regge Calculus where the quadratic link lengths of the simplicial manifold vary continuously and the Z_2-Regge Model where they are restricted to two possible values. The goal…
We investigate the continuum limit of a compact formulation of the lattice U(1) gauge theory in 4 dimensions using a nonperturbative gauge-fixed regularization. We find clear evidence of a continuous phase transition in the pure gauge…
The arguments were given in a number of our papers that the discrete quantum gravity based on the Regge calculus possesses nonzero vacuum expectation values of the triangulation lengths of the order of Plank scale $10^{-33}cm$. These…
We propose a hybrid model of simplicial quantum gravity by performing at once dynamical triangulations and Regge calculus. A motive for the hybridization is to give a dynamical description of topology-changing processes of Euclidean…
We study an Ising spin system coupled to a fluctuating four-dimensional $Z_2$-Regge lattice and compare with the results of the four-dimensional Ising model on a regular lattice. Particular emphasis is placed on the phase transition of the…
We re-examine the approach to four-dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity based on the Regge calculus. A cut-off on the link lengths is introduced and consequently the gravitational coupling and the cosmological constant become independent…
We afford a systematic and comprehensive account of the canonical dynamics of 4D Regge Calculus perturbatively expanded to linear order around a flat background. To this end, we consider the Pachner moves which generate the most basic and…
Using the notion of a general conical defect, the Regge Calculus is generalized by allowing for dislocations on the simplicial lattice in addition to the usual disclinations. Since disclinations and dislocations correspond to curvature and…
In Regge calculus space time is usually approximated by a triangulation with flat simplices. We present a formulation using simplices with constant sectional curvature adjusted to the presence of a cosmological constant. As we will show…
