Semiclassical limits of simplicial quantum gravity
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We consider the simplicial state-sum model of Ponzano and Regge as a path integral for quantum gravity in three dimensions. We examine the Lorentzian geometry of a single 3-simplex and of a simplicial manifold, and interpret an asymptotic formula for -symbols in terms of this geometry. This extends Ponzano and Regge's similar interpretation for Euclidean geometry. We give a geometric interpretation of the stationary points of this state-sum, by showing that, at these points, the simplicial manifold may be mapped locally into flat Lorentzian or Euclidean space. This lends weight to the interpretation of the state-sum as a path integral, which has solutions corresponding to both Lorentzian and Euclidean gravity in three dimensions.
