A Causal Alternative for c=0 Strings

J. Ambjorn, R. Loll, Y. Watabiki +2

We review a recently discovered continuum limit for the one-matrix model which describes "causal" two-dimensional quantum gravity. The behaviour of the quantum geometry in this lim…

A new continuum limit of matrix models

J. Ambjorn, R. Loll, Y. Watabiki +2

We define a new scaling limit of matrix models which can be related to the method of causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) used when investigating two-dimensional quantum gravity.…

Shaken, but not stirred - Potts model coupled to quantum gravity

J. Ambjorn, K. N. Anagnostopoulos, R. Loll +1

We investigate the critical behaviour of both matter and geometry of the three-state Potts model coupled to two-dimensional Lorentzian quantum gravity in the framework of causal dy…

The Self-Organized de Sitter Universe

J. Ambjorn, J. Jurkiewicz, R. Loll

We propose a theory of quantum gravity which formulates the quantum theory as a nonperturbative path integral, where each spacetime history appears with a weight given by the expon…

A Matrix Model for 2D Quantum Gravity defined by Causal Dynamical Triangulations

J. Ambjorn, R. Loll, Y. Watabiki +2

A novel continuum theory of two-dimensional quantum gravity, based on a version of Causal Dynamical Triangulations which incorporates topology change, has recently been formulated…

Topology change in causal quantum gravity

J. Ambjorn, R. Loll, Y. Watabiki +2

The role of topology change in a fundamental theory of quantum gravity is still a matter of debate. However, when regarding string theory as two-dimensional quantum gravity, topolo…
