Abstract :
We study the correlation functions in the branched polymer model. Although there are no correlations in the grand canonical ensemble, when looking at the canonical ensemble we find negative long range power like correlations. We propose that a similar mechanism explains the shape of recently measured correlation functions in the elongated phase of 4d simplicial gravity [B. de Bakker and J. Smit, Nucl. Phys. B 454 (1995) 343].
