因果集合论中的重力和物质

Gravity and Matter in Causal Set Theory

Roman Sverdlov, Luca Bombelli

摘要:

本文的目标是提出一种方法来制定因果集和耦合物质场的动力学。我们从与引力耦合的克莱因-戈登场的作用量的连续统版本开始,首先使用在因果集的情况下具有直接对应的量(即体积、因果关系和类时长度)作为描述几何的变量来重写它。在这一步中,一组域$f$的局部拉格朗日密度$L(f;x)$被重铸为一个准局部表达式$L_0(f;p,q)$,它依赖于成对的因果相关点$p \prec q$,并且是由这些点定义的亚历山德罗夫集中$f$的值的函数,并且当$p$和$q$接近公共点$x$时,它的极限是$L(f;x)$。然后,我们描述了如何离散化$L_0(f;p,q)$,并使用它来定义一个离散的行动。

英文摘要:

The goal of this paper is to propose an approach to the formulation of dynamics for causal sets and coupled matter fields. We start from the continuum version of the action for a Klein-Gordon field coupled to gravity, and rewrite it first using quantities that have a direct correspondent in the case of a causal set, namely volumes, causal relations, and timelike lengths, as variables to describe the geometry. In this step, the local Lagrangian density $L(f;x)$ for a set of fields $f$ is recast into a quasilocal expression $L_0(f;p,q)$ that depends on pairs of causally related points $p \prec q$ and is a function of the values of $f$ in the Alexandrov set defined by those points, and whose limit as $p$ and $q$ approach a common point $x$ is $L(f;x)$. We then describe how to discretize $L_0(f;p,q)$, and use it to define a discrete action.
