The spectral dimension in 2D CDT gravity coupled to scalar fields.

Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) provide a non-perturbative formulation of Quantum Gravity assuming the existence of a global time foliation. In our earlier study we analyzed the effect of including d copies of a massless scalar field in the two-dimensional CDT model with imaginary time. For d > 1 we observed the formation of a "blob", somewhat similar to that observed in four-dimensional CDT without matter. In the two-dimensional case the "blob" has a Hausdorff dimension DH = 3. In this paper, we study the spectral dimension DS of the two-dimensional CDT-universe, both for d = 0 (pure gravity) and d = 4. We show that in both cases the spectral dimension is consistent with DS = 2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
