Abstract

With reliance on Regge calculus and the Regge-Einstein action, models of four-dimensional Euclidean gravity are simulated numerically. The scale a=l0 is set by fixing the expectation value of a length. Monte Carlo calculations support the following results: In the infinite-volume limit, canonical dimensions are realized and a finite action density is obtained.
