Title: Lattice Quantum Gravity from Stochastic 3-Geometries
(Submitted on 21 Aug 1995 (v1), last revised 18 Sep 1995 (this version, v2))
Abstract: I propose the Langevin equation for 3-geometries in the Ashtekar's formalism to describe 4D Euclidean quantum gravity, in the sense that the corresponding Fokker-Planck hamiltonian recovers the hamiltonian in 4D quantum gravity exactly. The stochastic time corresponds to the Euclidean time in the gauge, N=1 and $N^i=0$. In this approach, the time evolution in 4D quantum gravity is understood as a stochastic process where the quantum fluctuation of ` ` triad \rq\rq is characterized by the curvature at the one unit time step before. The lattice regularization of 4D quantum gravity is presented in this context.
