Abstract

By adopting the standard definition of diffeomorphisms for a Regge surface we give an exact expression of the Liouville action both for the sphere and the torus topology in the discretized case. The results are obtained in a general way by choosing the unique self-adjoint extension of the Lichnerowicz operator satisfying the Riemann-Roch relation. We also give the explicit form of the integration measure for the conformal factor. For the sphere topology the theory is exactly invariant under the SL(2, C ) transformations, while for the torus topology we have exact translational and modular invariance. In the continuum limit the results flow into the well-known expressions.
