The electromagnetic field on a simplicial net
- Creators
- Sorkin, Rafael
Abstract
The "Regge calculus" approach is extended to the electromagnetic case. To this end an ''affine'' tensor formalism and associated exterior calculus are developed. The simplicial approach to linear field equations is illustrated by the two-dimensional scalar wave equation, on which also a discussion of the treacherous character of the continuum limit is based.
