摘要
We investigate the influence of the measure in the path integral for Euclidean quantum gravity in four dimensions within the Regge calculus. The action is bounded without additional terms by fixing the average lattice spacing. We set the length scale by a parameter-beta and consider a scale-invariant and a uniform measure. In the low-beta region we observe a phase with negative curvature and a homogeneous distribution of the link lengths independent of the measure. The large-beta region is characterized by inhomogeneous link length distributions with spikes and positive curvature depending on the measure.
