Simplicial quantum gravity on a computer
Description
Abstract We describe a method for the Monte Carlo simulation of simplicial quantum gravity, in the dynamical triangulation approach, coupled to matter fields. We concentrate mainly on the problem of implementing effectively the random, dynamical triangulation and building a detailed balance condition into the elementary transformations of the triangulation. We propose a method of auto-tuning the parameters needed to balance simulations of the canonical ensemble. This method allows us to prepare a whol...
