Emergent classical geometries on boundaries of randomly connected tensor networks
2016
It is shown that classical spaces with geometries emerge on boundaries of randomly connected
tensornetworks with appropriately chosen
tensorsin the
thermodynamic limit. With variation of the
tensors, the dimensions of the spaces can be freely chosen, and the geometries, which are curved in general, can be varied. We give the explicit solvable examples of emergent flat tori in arbitrary dimensions, and the correspondence from the
tensorsto the geometries for general curved cases. The perturbative dynamics in the emergent space is shown to be described by an
effective actionwhich is invariant under the spatial
diffeomorphismdue to the underlying
orthogonal groupsymmetry of the randomly connected
tensornetwork. It is also shown that there are various phase transitions among spaces, including extended and point-like ones, under continuous change of the
tensors.
