Singularities of the closed RW metric in Regge Calculus: a generalized evolution of the 600-cell

An evolution scheme is developed, based on Sorkin algorithm, to evolve the most complex regular tridimensional polytope, the 600-cell. The solution of 600-cell, already studied before, is generalized by allowing a larger number of free variables. The singularities of Robertson-Walker (RW) metric are studied and a reason is given why the evolution of the 600-cell stops when its volume is still far from zero. A fit of 600-cell's evolution with a continuos metric is studied by writing a metric generalizing Friedmann's and including the 600-cell evolution too. The result is that the 600-cell meets a causality-breaking point of space-time. We also shortly discuss the way matter is introduced in Regge calculus.

The Friedmann universe of dust by Regge Calculus: study of its ending point

We develop an evolution scheme, based on Sorkin algorithm, to evolve the most complex regular tridimensional polytope, the 600-cell. This application has been already studied before and all authors found a stop point for the evolution of the spatial section. In our opinion a clear and satisfactory meaning to this behaviour has not been given. In this paper we propose a reason why the evolution of the 600-cell stops when its volume is still far from 0. We find that the 600-cell meets a causality-breaking singularity of space-time. We study the nature of this singularity by embedding the 600-cell into a five-dimensional Lorentzian manifold. We fit 600-cell's evolution with a continuos metric and study it as a solution of Einstein equations.
