Abstract

Following the work of Lund and Regge for homogeneous spaces, we construct the action for Regge calculus in its three-plus-one form for general space-times. This is achieved in two ways: a first-order formalism and a second-order formalism. We describe the Regge-calculus analogue of solving the initial-value equations using conformal transformations. The second-order formalism is used to study the time development of two simple model universes.
