Abstract

A new formalism for lattice gauge theory is developed that preserves Poincaré symmetry in a discrete universe. We define the 1\mathbb{1}-loop, a generalization of the Wilson loop that reformulates classical differential equations of motion as identity-valued multiplicative loops of Lie group elements of the form [g1⋯gn]=1{[g_1\cdots g_n]=\mathbb{1}}. A lattice Poincaré gauge theory of gravity is thus derived that employs a novel matter field construction and recovers Einstein's vacuum equations in the appropriate limit.
