Polymeric Phase of Simplicial Quantum Gravity

Abstract

We deduce the appearance of a polymeric phase in 4-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity by varying the values of the coupling constants and discuss the geometric structure of the phase in terms of ergodic moves. A similar result is true in 3-dimensions.
