• Discretization/regularization of the Feynman P.I.
• Starts from a manifestly covariant formulation
• No need for gauge fixing (as in Lattice QCD)
• Dominant paths are nowhere differentiable
• Allows for non-perturbative calculations
• Extensively tested in QCD & Spin Systems
• 30 years experience / high accuracy possible
Why the Lattice?

Prototype: Wilson’s Lattice QCD
• In QCD Pert. Th. is next to useless at low energies
Non-perturbative regularization
• Clear correspondence betw. Lattice and Cont. ops.
• Nontrivial measure (Haar)
• Confinement is almost immediate (Area law)
• Physical Vacuum bears little resemblance to pert. Vacuum
• Nontrivial Spectrum (glueballs) / Vacuum chromo-electric condensate / Quark condensates

Wilson’s lattice gauge theory provides to this day the only convincing theoretical evidence for : confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in QCD.

Path Integral for Quantum Gravitation
DeWitt approach to measure :
introduce a Super-Metric G
Proper definition of F. Path Integral requires a Lattice (Feynman & Hibbs, 1964).
Perturbation theory in 4D about a flat background is useless … badly divergent
In d=4 this gives a “volume element” :

Conformal Instability
Euclidean Quantum Gravity - in the Path Integral approach - is affected by a
fundamental instability, which cannot be removed.
The latter is apparently only overcome in the lattice theory (for G>Gc),
because of the entropy (functional measure) contribution.

Lattice Theory of Gravity

Incorporates continuous local invariance
Puts within the reach of computation
problems which in practical terms are
beyond the power of analytical methods
Affords in principle any desired level of
accuracy by a sufficiently fine subdivision of
space-time

Running Newton’s Constant G
In gravity there is a new RG invariant scale ξ :
Running of G determined largely by scale ξ and exponent ν :

Running of Newton’s G(□)
New RG invariant scale of gravity
Expect small deviations from GR on largest scales
Eg. • Matter density perturbations in comoving gauge
• Gravitational “slip” function in Newtonian gauge

Curvature Correlation Functions
Need the geodesic distance between any two points :
Curvature correlation function :
But for ν = ⅓ the result becomes quite simple :
If the two parallel transport loops are not infinitesimal :

The classical field equations relate the local curvature to the local matter

For the macroscopic matter density contrast one then obtains
From the lattice one computes :
Astrophysical measurements of G(r) are roughly consistent with
