完整的LQG传播子:I. Barrett-Crane顶点

The complete LQG propagator: I. Difficulties with the Barrett-Crane vertex

Emanuele Alesci, Carlo Rovelli

摘要:

最近,在圈量子引力的背景下,使用自旋泡沫巴雷特-克兰顶点计算了引力子两点函数的一些分量。我们完成了剩余组件的计算。我们发现,在我们的假设下,Barrett-Crane顶点不产生正确的长距离限制。我们认为,这个问题是普遍的,可以追溯到相互缠绕独立的Barrett-Crane顶点,因此,众所周知的Barrett-Crane形式主义和标准的正则自旋网络之间的不匹配。在配套文件中,我们说明了顶点振幅的渐近行为,可以纠正这个困难。

英文摘要:

Some components of the graviton two-point function have been recently computed in the context of loop quantum gravity, using the spinfoam Barrett-Crane vertex. We complete the calculation of the remaining components. We find that, under our assumptions, the Barrett-Crane vertex does not yield the correct long distance limit. We argue that the problem is general and can be traced to the intertwiner-independence of the Barrett-Crane vertex, and therefore to the well-known mismatch between the Barrett-Crane formalism and the standard canonical spin networks. In a companion paper we illustrate the asymptotic behavior of a vertex amplitude that can correct this difficulty.
