    A note on weak convergence results for uniform infinite causal triangulations

    Full text link
    We discuss uniform infinite causal triangulations and equivalence to the size biased branching process measure - the critical Galton-Watson branching process distribution conditioned on non-extinction. Using known results from the theory of branching processes, this relation is used to prove weak convergence of the joint length-area process of a uniform infinite causal triangulations to a limiting diffusion. The diffusion equation enables us to determine the physical Hamiltonian and Green's function from the Feynman-Kac procedure, providing us with a mathematical rigorous proof of certain scaling limits of causal dynamical triangulations.Comment: 23 pages, 2 figure

    Repulsion of an evolving surface on walls with random heights

    We consider the motion of a discrete random surface interacting by exclusion with a random wall. The heights of the wall at the sites of Zd\Z^d are i.i.d.\ random variables. Fixed the wall configuration, the dynamics is given by the serial harness process which is not allowed to go below the wall. We study the effect of the distribution of the wall heights on the repulsion speed.Comment: 8 page
