Description
In this talk I examine the algorithmic problem of minimal coupling gauge fields of the Yang--Mills type to Quantum Gravity in the approach known as Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) as a step towards studying, ultimately, systems of gravity coupled with bosonic and fermionic matter. I first describe the algorithm for general dimensions and gauge groups and then focus on the results obtained from simulations of 2d CDT coupled to Yang--Mills fields with U(1) and SU(2) gauge groups, where we studied both observables related to gravity and gauge fields, and compared them with analogous simulations in the static flat case.
