Abstract
We investigate the possible existence of continuum theories
originating from lattice theories defined on triangulated manifolds.
We discuss the 2d case, considering theories with extrinsic
curvature coupled to embedding bosonic matter fields, and the 4d
case, where we find that the effect of a non-trivial measure is likely
to be relevant.
