Abstract
For understanding the origin of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background, rules to construct a quantized universe is proposed based on the dynamical triangulation method of the simplicial quantum gravity. A -dimensional universe having the topology is created numerically in terms of a simplicial manifold with -simplices as the building blocks. The space coordinates of a universe are identified on the boundary surface , and the time coordinate is defined along the direction perpendicular to . Numerical simulations are made mainly for 2-dimensional universes, and analyzed to examine appropriateness of the construction rules by comparing to analytic results of the matrix model and the Liouville theory. Furthermore, a simulation in 4-dimension is made, and the result suggests an ability to analyze the observations on anisotropies by comparing to…
