With a recently introduced geometric momentum that depends on the extrinsic curvature and offers a proper description of momentum on two-dimensional sphere, we show that the annihilation operators whose eigenstates are coherent states on the sphere take the expected form αx + iβp, where α and β are two operators that depend on the angular momentum and x and p are the position and the geometric momentum, respectively. Since the geometric momentum is manifestly a consequence of embedding the two-dimensional sphere in the three-dimensional flat space, the coherent states reflects some aspects beyond the intrinsic geometry of the surfaces.

We describe a new approach to the Monte-Carlo simulations of two-dimensional gravity. Standard dynamical triangulation technique was combined with results of direct enumeration of the cubic graphs. As a result we were able to build large (128K vertices) statistically independent random graphs directly. The quantitative correspondence between our results and those obtained by standard methods has been observed. The algorithm proved to be so efficient that we were able to conduct all the simulations, which usually require the most powerful computers, on an Iris workstation. An opportunity to generate large random graphs allowed us to observe that the internal geometry of random surfaces is more complicated than simple fractals. External geometry also proved to be rather peculiar.

We propose a toy model of quantum gravity in two dimensions with Euclidean signature. The model is given by a kind of discretization which is different from the dynamical triangulation. We show that there exists a continuum limit and we can calculate some physical quantities such as the expectation value of the area, that is, the volume of the two-dimensional Euclidean spacetime. We also consider the extensions of the model to higher dimensions.

Two-dimensional random surfaces are studied numerically by the dynamical triangulation method. In order to generate various kinds of random surfaces, two higher derivative terms are added to the action. The structures of surfaces, two higher derivative terms are added to the action. The structures of surfaces in the two-dimensional parameter space are classified into three states: flat surface, crumpled surface and branched polymer. In addition, there exists a special point (pure gravity) corresponding to the universal fractal surface. A new probe to detect branched polymers is proposed by using the analysis of minimum neck baby universe. This method can clearly distinguish the branched polymer phase from others according to the sizes and arrangements of baby universes. The size and arrangement of baby universes change drastically for each state. The phases of surfaces coupled with multi-Ising spins are studied in a similar manner.

We report first results of a large-scale simulation of two-dimensional quantum gravity using the dynamical triangulation model for systems of up to sixteen thousand triangles. Our results for the internal geometry show an unexpectedly complicated behavior of the internal volume as function of the internal radius. A simple fractal characterization is inadequate to describe the geometry of the states in the system.

We investigate the relation between rank-three tensor models and the dynamical triangulation model of three-dimensional quantum gravity, and discuss the orientability of the manifold and the corresponding tensor models. We generalize the orientable tensor models to arbitrary dimensions, which include the two-dimensional Hermitian matrix model as a special case.

I should like to give you a very condensed progress report on some spectrophotometric measurements of objective-prism spectra made in collaboration with H. Leicher at Bonn. The procedure used is almost completely automatic. The measurements are made with the help of a semi-automatic fully digitized registering microphotometer constructed by Hög-Hamburg. The reductions are carried out with the aid of a number of interconnected programmes written for the computer IBM 7090, beginning with the output of the photometer in the form of punched cards and ending with the printing-out of the final two-dimensional classifications.
