Causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) constitute a background independent, nonperturbative approach to quantum gravity, in which the gravitational path integral is approximated by the weighted sum over causally well-behaving simplicial manifolds i.e. causal triangulations. This thesis is an analysis of the data from the Monte Carlo computer simulations of CDT in 3+1 dimensions. It is confirmed here that there exist the semiclassical limit of CDT for so-called (4,1) (or equivalent (1,4)) simplices, being a discrete version of the mini-superspace model. Next, the form of the corresponding discrete action is investigated. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the effective, semiclassical solution works also after the inclusion of remaining (3,2) and (2,3) simplices, treated collectively. A specific form of the resulting extended discrete action is examined and a transition from the broader framework to the former narrower one is shown.

Previous work has shown that the macroscopic structure of the theory of quantum gravity defined by causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) is compatible with that of a de Sitter universe. After emphasizing the strictly nonperturbative nature of this semiclassical limit we present a detailed study of the three-volume data, which allows us to re-confirm the de Sitter structure, exhibit short-distance discretization effects, and make a first detailed investigation of the presence of higher-order curvature terms in the effective action for the scale factor. Technically, we make use of a novel way of fixing the total four-volume in the simulations.
The Lorentzian type IIB matrix model has been studied as a promising candidate for a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. In particular, the emergence of (3+1)D expanding space-time was observed by Monte Carlo studies of this model. It has been found recently, however, that the matrix configurations generated by the simulation is singular in that the submatrices representing the expanding 3D space have only two large eigenvalues associated with the Pauli matrices. This problem has been attributed to the approximation used to avoid the sign problem in simulating the model. Here we investigate the model using the complex Langevin method to overcome the sign problem instead of using the approximation. Our results indicate a clear departure from the Pauli-matrix structure, while the (3+1)D expanding behavior is kept intact.
We consider a gravity theory coupled to matter, where the matter has a higher-dimensional holographic dual. In such a theory, finding quantum extremal surfaces becomes equivalent to finding the RT/HRT surfaces in the higher-dimensional theory. Using this we compute the entropy of Hawking radiation and argue that it follows the Page curve, as suggested by recent computations of the entropy and entanglement wedges for old black holes. The higher-dimensional geometry connects the radiation to the black hole interior in the spirit of ER=EPR. The black hole interior then becomes part of the entanglement wedge of the radiation. Inspired by this, we propose a new rule for computing the entropy of quantum systems entangled with gravitational systems which involves searching for islands in determining the entanglement wedge.
We give a detailed treatment of the back-reaction effects on the Hawking spectrum in the semiclassical approach to the Hawking radiation. We solve the exact system of non linear equations giving the action of the system, by a rigorously convergent iterative procedure. The first two terms of such an expansion give the O(omega/M) correction to the Hawking spectrum.
The emergence of (3+1)-dimensional expanding space-time in the Lorentzian type IIB matrix model is an intriguing phenomenon which was observed in Monte Carlo studies of this model. In particular, this may be taken as a support to the conjecture that the model is a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory in (9+1) dimensions. In this paper we investigate the space-time structure of the matrices generated by simulating this model and its simplifie
