因果量子引力中的拓扑变化

Topology change in causal quantum gravity

J. Ambjorn, R. Loll, Y. Watabiki, W. Westra, S. Zohren

摘要:

拓扑变化在量子引力基本理论中的作用仍然是一个有争议的问题。然而,当把弦论看作二维量子引力时,拓扑涨落是必不可少的。在这里,我们提出了第三个量子化的二维表面的因果动态三角(CDT)的方法的基础上。形式上,我们的构造类似于由Ishibashi、Kawai等人发展的c = 0非临界弦场论,但物理上却截然不同。与非临界弦论不同,空间切片的拓扑变化受到牛顿常数的控制和调节。

英文摘要:

The role of topology change in a fundamental theory of quantum gravity is still a matter of debate. However, when regarding string theory as two-dimensional quantum gravity, topological fluctuations are essential. Here we present a third quantization of two-dimensional surfaces based on the method of causal dynamical triangulation (CDT). Formally, our construction is similar to the c = 0 non-critical string field theory developed by Ishibashi, Kawai and others, but physically it is quite distinct. Unlike in non-critical string theory the topology change of spatial slices is well controlled and regulated by Newton's constant.
