Abstract:

Recent models for discrete euclidean quantum gravity incorporate a sum over simplicial triangulations. We describe an algorithm for simulating such models in general dimensions. As illustration we show results from simulations in four dimensions

quantum gravity: Euclidean
random surface: triangulation
lattice field theory: susceptibility
partition function
critical phenomena
numerical calculations: Monte Carlo
