Abstract: In this talk I will introduce a discrete model of gravity preserving constraints of the Einstein’s equations. This model is based on matrix geometry developed to discretize infinite-dimensional systems such as Eulerian fluid magnetohydrody- namics and complex fluids. In these cases we’ve been able to discretize underlying symmetries and variational principles to construct numerical schemes preserving geometric structures of the equations. I will discuss how to extend these methods using ideas of noncommutative geometry in order to to discretize the Einstein’s equations while preserving its symmetries.
