A note on area variables in Regge calculus
arXiv:gr-qc/9710056 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/16/4/025
Abstract
We consider the possibility of setting up a new version of Regge calculus in four dimensions with areas of triangles as the basic variables rather than the edge-lengths. The difficulties and restrictions of this approach are discussed.
