1 A practical look at Regge calculus Dimitri Marinelli Physics Department - Università degli Studi di Pavia and I.N.F.N. - Pavia in collaboration with Prof. G. Immirzi Karl Schwarzschild Meeting 2013, Frankfurt am Main
2 Many Quantum Gravity Theories need, either a discrete gravity in the classical limit or a statistical mechanics of discrete space(-times). this can be provided by Regge calculus (Regge 1961)

5 What is Regge calculus? General Relativity 4-dimensional differential manifold M a metric tensor g µν with signature (, +, +, +) S [g µν ] = c4 16πG M R [g µν ] g d 4 x + L M [g µν ] g d 4 x
6 What is Regge calculus? Spacetime is replaced by a 4-dimensional simplicial complex: Each block is a 4-simplex (4d generalization of a tetrahedron). Each 4-simplex shares its boundary tetrahedra. The space bounded by tetrahedra is a flat Minkowski spacetime (each block encloses a piece of flat spacetime) Metric structure is replaced by Edge lengths of 4-simplices dynamically fixed

13 Regge calculus To study a gravitational system with Regge calculus one has to: build a 4-dimensional triangulation (fix the topology), find a solution of δs R [l e ] = 0 where S R = 1 8π A t ε t t with A t the area of the triangle t and ɛ t its associated deficit angle. Einstein s equations (non linear partial differential equations) now become implicit equations. Can be considered a finite difference method for general relativity.
14 From 3-d simplicial complex to 4-d We are interested in a triangulation with topology S 3 R. for S 3 : 5-cell or Pentachoron 16-cell 600-cell

22 Conclusions Regge calculus can be an important tool both to understand classical gravity and as a map in the labyrinth of the modern models of quantum gravity. One can finally hope that Regge s truly geometric way of formulating general relativity will someday make the content of the Einstein field equation... stand out sharp and clear... Thank you. J. A. Wheeler
