Scaling relations in four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity are proposed using the concept of the geodesic distance. Based on the analogy of a loop length distribution in the two-dimensional case, the scaling relations of the boundary…
We performed detailed study of the phase transition region in Four Dimensional Simplicial Quantum Gravity, using the dynamical triangulation approach. The phase transition between the Gravity and Antigravity phases turned out to be…
Four-dimensional(4D) spacetime structures are investigated using the concept of the geodesic distance in the simplicial quantum gravity. On the analogy of the loop length distribution in 2D case, the scaling relations of the boundary volume…
We propose that large quantum fluctuations of the conformal factor drastically modify classical general relativity at cosmological distance scales, resulting in a scale invariant phase of quantum gravity in the far infrared. We derive…
We consider a discrete model of euclidean quantum gravity in four dimensions based on a summation over random simplicial manifolds. The action used is the Einstein-Hilbert action plus an $R^2$-term. The phase diagram as a function of the…
The phase structure of four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity coupled to U(1) gauge fields has been studied using Monte-Carlo simulations. The smooth phase is found in the intermediate region between the crumpled phase and the branched…
We present the results of a high statistics Monte Carlo study of a model for four dimensional euclidean quantum gravity based on summing over triangulations. We show evidence for two phases; in one there is a logarithmic scaling on the mean…
We examine the scaling of geodesic correlation functions in two-dimensional gravity and in spin systems coupled to gravity. The numerical data support the scaling hypothesis and indicate that the quantum geometry develops a non-perturbative…
We formulate quantum gravity in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions in such a way that the conformal mode is explicitly separated. The dynamics of the conformal mode is understood in terms of the oversubtraction due to the one loop counter term. The…
We present a simple argument which determines the critical value of the anomaly coefficient in four dimensional conformal factor quantum gravity, at which a phase transition between a smooth and elongated phase should occur. The argument is…
Four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity is modified either by coupling it to U(1) gauge fields or by introducing a measure weighted by the orders of the triangles. Strong coupling expansion and Monte Carlo simulations are used. Although…
We investigate the phase structure of four-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to Ising spins or Gaussian scalar fields by means of numerical simulations. The quantum gravity part is modelled by the summation over random simplicial…
In the time-space symmetric version of dynamical triangulation, a non-perturbative version of quantum Einstein gravity, numerical simulations without matter have shown two phases, with spacetimes that are either crumpled or elongated like…
Four-dimensional (4D) simplicial quantum gravity coupled to U(1) gauge fields has been studied using Monte-Carlo simulations. A negative string susceptibility exponent is observed beyond the phase-transition point, even if the number of…
The method of four-dimensional Causal Dynamical Triangulations provides a background-independent definition of the sum over geometries in quantum gravity, in the presence of a positive cosmological constant. We present the evidence…
We deduce the appearance of a polymeric phase in 4-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity by varying the values of the coupling constants and discuss the geometric structure of the phase in terms of ergodic moves. A similar result is true…
We conduct numerical simulations of a model of four dimensional quantum gravity in which the path integral over continuum Euclidean metrics is approximated by a sum over combinatorial triangulations. At fixed volume the model contains a…
Recent results obtained within a non-perturbative approach to quantum gravity based on the method of four-dimensional Causal Dynamical Triangulations are described. The phase diagram of the model consists of three phases. In the physically…
The 2-point function is the natural object in quantum gravity for extracting critical behavior: The exponential fall off of the 2-point function with geodesic distance determines the fractal dimension $d_H$ of space-time. The integral of…
We recast the action principle of four dimensional General Relativity so that it becomes amenable for perturbation theory which doesn't break general covariance. The coupling constant becomes dimensionless (G_{Newton} \Lambda) and extremely…
