Abstract: (WSP)
Employing Monte-Carlo simulation we study the phase diagram of a Z2 gauge field coupled to simplicial quantum gravity. We localize a critical point of the model where both the matter and gravity sectors have a second order phase transition. We found the value of the critical index γg=0.16(4) of the gravity susceptibility at the critical point.
