Consistent discretization of classical and quantum Regge Calculus

ORAL

Abstract

We apply the ``consistent discretization'' approach to Regge Calculus. As a consequence, one can construct a consistent well defined canonical theory for it. This would, in particular, allow the introduction of a natural measure in the path integral quite different from the usual ones. We apply the technique to a concrete example in 2+1 dimensional gravity.
