自由弦能穿过平面波奇点吗?

Can free strings propagate across plane wave singularities?

Ben Craps, Frederik De Roo, Oleg Evnin

摘要:

我们研究自由弦在平面波几何中的传播,在一定范围内发展出强尺度不变的奇点。我们与所有激发弦模式的演化的奇异极限的质心运动(后者存在的整体平面波剖面归一化的离散值)。要求弦的整个激发能都是有限的,结果证明是相当严格的,基本上排除了穿过奇点的一致传播,除非在奇点轨迹处引入维数尺度(在尺度不变的时空中)。

英文摘要:

We study free string propagation in families of plane wave geometries developing strong scale-invariant singularities in certain limits. We relate the singular limit of the evolution for all excited string modes to that of the center-of-mass motion (the latter existing for discrete values of the overall plane wave profile normalization). Requiring that the entire excitation energy of the string should be finite turns out to be quite restrictive and essentially excludes consistent propagation across the singularity, unless dimensionful scales are introduced at the singular locus (in an otherwise scale-invariant space-time).
