Abstract: (WSP)
We consider a discrete model of Euclidean quantum gravity in three dimensions based on a summation over random simplicial manifolds. We derive some elementary properties of the model and discuss possible “matrix” models for 3-D gravity.
  • quantum gravity: Euclidean
  • dimension: 3
  • lattice field theory: simplex
  • random surface
  • matrix model
  • critical phenomena
