Abstract

Using a Feynman path integral-like summing procedure we can establish two exact statistical averages for the topological and the Hausdorff dimension of a fractal-Cantorian spacetime. By equating the two expressions we find the Hausdorff and the topological dimension to be 4+ϕ3 and 4, respectively, where ϕ=(5-1)/2.
