Abstract

We performed a nonperturbative sum over geometries in (2+1)-dimensional causal dynamical triangulation through the help of Monte Carlo simulations, where the spacial topologies are assumed to be S2 for simplicity. We also studied a case where the spacial topologies are T2. The numerical results imply these emerging quantum universes can be described by solutions of the Einstein equation at macroscopic scales. We also found that spectral dimensions of these spacetime are roughly 3.
