带拓扑项的四维Lorentzian Holst action

4d Lorentzian Holst action with topological terms

Danilo Jimenez Rezende, Alejandro Perez

摘要:

研究了广义相对论中与定域洛伦兹不变性和背景无关性相容的广义一阶作用量的哈密顿形式。通过在Holst作用量中加入具有独立耦合常数的Pontriagin、Euler和Nieh-Yan不变量,得到了最一般的单纯形结构(与非同态不变性和局部洛伦兹变换相容).我们进行了详细的规范分析,这个一般的配方(在时间规)探索结构的相空间中的连接变量。我们解释了这些拓扑项之间的关系,以及在用Ashtekar-Barbero联系定义的引力量子理论中大SU(2)规范变换的影响。

英文摘要:

We study the Hamiltonian formulation of the general first order action of general relativity compatible with local Lorentz invariance and background independence. The most general simplectic structure (compatible with diffeomorphism invariance and local Lorentz transformations) is obtained by adding to the Holst action the Pontriagin, Euler and Nieh-Yan invariants with independent coupling constants. We perform a detailed canonical analysis of this general formulation (in the time gauge) exploring the structure of the phase space in terms of connection variables. We explain the relationship of these topological terms, and the effect of large SU(2) gauge transformations in quantum theories of gravity defined in terms of the Ashtekar-Barbero connection.
