# Focusing on the Fixed Point of 4D Simplicial Gravity

## TL;DR

This paper extends previous renormalization group analysis of 4D simplicial gravity, revealing a first-order phase transition through high-statistics study of node distribution cumulants, challenging prior beliefs.

## Contribution

It provides new evidence that the phase transition in 4D simplicial gravity is of first order, based on detailed cumulant analysis.

## Key findings

- Phase transition is of first order.
- Cumulants of node distribution depend on volume and coupling.
- Results challenge previous assumptions about the transition nature.

## Abstract

Our earlier renormalization group analysis of simplicial gravity is extended. A high statistics study of the volume and coupling constant dependence of the cumulants of the node distribution is carried out. It appears that the phase transition of the theory is of first order, contrary to what is generally believed.
