Two-dimensional random surfaces are studied numerically by the dynamical triangulation method. In order to generate various kinds of random surfaces, two higher derivative terms are added to the action. The phases of surfaces in the two-dimensional parameter space are classified into three states: flat, crumpled surface, and branched polymer. In addition, there exists a special point (pure gravity) corresponding to the universal fractal surface. A new probe to detect branched polymers is proposed, which makes use of the minbu(minimum neck baby universe) analysis. This method can clearly distinguish the branched polymer phase from another according to the sizes and arrangements of baby universes. The size distribution of baby universes changes drastically at the transition point between the branched polymer and other kind of surface. The phases of surfaces coupled with multi-Ising spins are studied in a similar manner.

A model of simplicial quantum gravity in three dimensions is investigated numerically based on the technique of the dynamical triangulation (DT). We are concerned with the surfaces appearing on boundaries (i.e., sections) of three-dimensional DT manifold with $S^{3}$ topology. A new scaling behavior of genus distributions of boundary surfaces is found.Furthermore, these surfaces are compared with the random surfaces generated by the two-dimensional DT method which are well known as a correct discretized method of the two-dimensional quantum gravity.
The complex structure of a surface generated by the two-dimensional dynamical triangulation(DT) is determined by measuring the resistivity of the surface. It is found that surfaces coupled to matter fields have well-defined complex structures for cases when the matter central charges are less than or equal to one, while they become unstable beyond c=1. A natural conjecture that fine planar random network of resistors behave as a continuous sheet of constant resistivity is justified numerically for c<1.
A model of simplicial quantum gravity in three dimensions(3D) was investigated numerically based on the technique of dynamical triangulation (DT). We are concerned with the genus of surfaces appearing on boundaries (i.e., sections) of a 3D DT manifold with $S^{3}$ topology. Evidence of a scaling behavior of the genus distributions of boundary surfaces has been found.
We quantize the two-dimensional projectable Horava-Lifshitz gravity with a bi-local as well as space-like wormhole interaction. The resulting quantum Hamiltonian coincides with the one obtained through summing over all genus in the string field theory for two-dimensional causal dynamical triangulations. This implies that our wormhole interaction can be interpreted as a splitting or joining interaction of one-dimensional strings.
We study a c=-2 conformal field theory coupled to two-dimensional quantum gravity by means of dynamical triangulations. We define the geodesic distance r on the triangulated surface with N triangles, and show that dim[r^{d_H}]= dim[N], where the fractal dimension d_H = 3.58 +/- 0.04. This result lends support to the conjecture d_H = -2alpha_1/alpha_{-1}, where alpha_{-n} is the gravitational dressing exponent of a spin-less primary field of conformal weight (n+1,n+1), and it disfavors the alternative prediction d_H = -2/gamma_{str}. On the other hand, we find dim[l] = dim[r^2] with good accuracy, where l is the length of one of the boundaries of a circle with (geodesic) radius r, i.e. the length l has an anomalous dimension relative to the area of the surface. It is further shown that the spectral dimension d_s = 1.980 +/- 0.014 for the ensemble of (triangulated) manifolds used. The results are derived using finite size scaling and a very efficient recursive sampling technique known previously to work well for c=-2.
