Fermions in 2d Lorentzian Quantum Gravity

L. Bogacz, Z. Burda, J. Jurkiewicz

We implement Wilson fermions on 2d Lorentzian triangulation and determine the spectrum of the Dirac--Wilson operator. We compare it to the spectrum of the corresponding operator in the Euclidean background. We use fermionic particle to probe the fractal properties of Lorentzian gravity coupled to c=1/2 and c=4 matter. We numerically determine the scaling exponent of the mass gap M \sim N-1/dH to be dH=2.11(5), and dH=1.77(3) for c=1/2 and c=4, respectively.
