圈量子引力顶点振幅

The loop-quantum-gravity vertex-amplitude

Jonathan Engle, Roberto Pereira, Carlo Rovelli

摘要:

自旋泡沫理论被希望提供非微扰圈量子引力的动力学。但它们的一些特征仍然难以捉摸。研究得最好的模型--欧几里德巴雷特-克兰模型--并不具备所需的边界状态空间,而且最近有迹象表明,它可能无法产生正确的低能$n$ -点函数。这些困难可以追溯到SO(4)-> SU(2)规范固定和某些第二类约束的方式,可以说是不正确的,强烈的。我们提出了一个替代模型,可以推导出作为一个真正的量化的Regge离散化的欧几里德广义相对论,并施加弱的约束。它的状态空间是SO(4)自旋网络空间的一个自然子空间,与SO(3)哈密顿自旋网络空间相匹配。该模型为圈量子引力提供了一个长期寻求的SO(4)协变顶点振幅。

英文摘要:

Spinfoam theories are hoped to provide the dynamics of non-perturbative loop quantum gravity. But a number of their features remain elusive. The best studied one -the euclidean Barrett-Crane model- does not have the boundary state space needed for this, and there are recent indications that, consequently, it may fail to yield the correct low-energy $n$-point functions. These difficulties can be traced to the SO(4) -> SU(2) gauge fixing and the way certain second class constraints are imposed, arguably incorrectly, strongly. We present an alternative model, that can be derived as a bona fide quantization of a Regge discretization of euclidean general relativity, and where the constraints are imposed weakly. Its state space is a natural subspace of the SO(4) spin-network space and matches the SO(3) hamiltonian spin network space. The model provides a long sought SO(4)-covariant vertex amplitude for loop quantum gravity.
