量子引力模型中的类同态对称性

Diffeomorphism symmetry in quantum gravity models

Bianca Dittrich

摘要:

我们回顾和讨论了量子态对称性在量子引力模型中的作用。这样的模型通常涉及作为正则化方法的时空流形的离散化。一般来说,这会导致对称性被破坏为近似对称性,但也有对称性完全保留的情况。为了保证正确的连续极限,这两种对称性在协变和正则理论中都必须考虑。我们将概述如何识别作用中的精确和近似对称性,以及如何定义相应的规范理论,在规范理论中,这些对称性被反映为精确和近似约束。

英文摘要:

We review and discuss the role of diffeomorphism symmetry in quantum gravity models. Such models often involve a discretization of the space-time manifold as a regularization method. Generically this leads to a breaking of the symmetries to approximate ones, however there are incidences in which the symmetries are exactly preserved. Both kind of symmetries have to be taken into account in covariant and canonical theories in order to ensure the correct continuum limit. We will sketch how to identify exact and approximate symmetries in the action and how to define a corresponding canonical theory in which such symmetries are reflected as exact and approximate constraints.
