Description
The study of random geometries is a growing area of research that has broad implications for our understanding of quantum gravity and the nature of the universe. One of the models that give physical meaning to geometries is called Causal Dynamical Triangulations, which is a lattice formulation of gravity. With the help of Monte Carlo simulations, we are allowed to generate and analyze many different geometries, allowing us to explore the properties of spacetime and gravity. The path integral formulation is a key method to dynamically select the relevant geometries from the vast possibilities of all triangulations in a well-defined way. In this talk, I will discuss how to perform numerical simulations to generate random geometries and give rise to meaningful quantities such as topology, dimension, or even a whole universe.
