Analysis of the Semiclassical Solution of CDT


الملخص بالإنكليزية

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.
