We performed a high statistics simulation of Ising spins coupled to 2D quantum gravity on toroidal geometries. The tori were triangulated using the Regge calculus approach and contained up to $512^2$ vertices. We used a constant area…
We investigated numerically an Ising model coupled to two-dimensional Euclidean gravity with spherical topology, using Regge calculus with the $dl/l$ path-integral measure to discretize the gravitational interaction. Previous studies of…
We define a simplified version of Regge quantum gravity where the link lengths can take on only two possible values, both always compatible with the triangle inequalities. This is therefore equivalent to a model of Ising spins living on the…
We suggest a generalization of the dynamical triangulation approach to quantum gravity with both timelike and spacelike edges, which can serve as a toy model for quantum gravity in the Lorentz sector in two dimensions. It is possible to…
We investigate quantum gravity in four dimensions using the Regge approach on triangulations of the four-torus with general, non-regular incidence matrices. We find that the simplicial lattice tends to develop spikes for vertices with low…
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…
We consider a model of discretized 2d gravity interacting with Ising spins where phase boundaries are restricted to have minimal length and show analytically that the critical exponent $\gamma= 1/3$ at the spin transition point. The model…
We introduce and investigate numerically a minimal class of dynamical triangulations of two-dimensional gravity on the sphere in which only vertices of order five, six or seven are permitted. We show firstly that this restriction of 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 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 study 2D quantum gravity on spherical topologies using the Regge calculus approach with the $dl/l$ measure. Instead of a fixed non-regular triangulation which has been used before, we study for each system size four different random…
We simulate the Ising model on a set of fixed random $\phi^3$ graphs, which corresponds to a {\it quenched} coupling to 2D gravity rather than the annealed coupling that is usually considered. We investigate the critical exponents in such a…
We study 2D quantum gravity on spherical topologies employing the Regge calculus approach with the dl/l measure. Instead of the normally used fixed non-regular triangulation we study random triangulations which are generated by the standard…
In the two-dimensional Ising model weak random surface field is predicted to be a marginally irrelevant perturbation at the critical point. We study this question by extensive Monte Carlo simulations for various strength of disorder. The…
We study a lattice regularization of the gravitational path integral--causal dynamical triangulations--for (2+1)-dimensional Einstein gravity with positive cosmological constant in the presence of past and future spacelike boundaries of…
I derive a formulation of the 2-dimensional critical Ising model on non-uniform simplicial lattices. Surprisingly, the derivation leads to a set of geometric constraints that a lattice must satisfy in order for the model to have a…
We study 2D quantum gravity on spherical topologies using the Regge calculus approach. Our goal is to shed new light upon the validity of the Regge approach to quantum gravity, which has recently been questioned in the literature. We…
We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the dynamic phase transition properties of the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model on the kagome lattice in the presence of square-wave oscillating magnetic field. Through detailed…
Using an exact holographic duality formula between the inhomogeneous 2d Ising model and 3d quantum gravity, we provide a formula for "real" zeroes of the 2d Ising partition function on finite trivalent graphs in terms of the geometry of a…
