基于格点路径积分的量子引力自旋泡沫模型

Spin foam models for quantum gravity from lattice path integrals

Valentin Bonzom

摘要:

从晶格路径积分导出了量子引力的自旋泡沫模型。该设置涉及来自晶格BF理论和Regge演算的变量。该作用包括Regge作用,其取决于面积、二面角并包括Immirzi参数。此外,插入一个措施,以确保一致的胶合的单形,使振幅占主导地位的配置,满足平行输运关系。我们显式计算的路径积分作为一个通用措施的自旋泡沫的总和。Freidel-Krasnov和Engle-Pereira-Rovelli模型对应于一种特殊的胶合选择。在这种情况下,运动方程描述了真正的几何形状,其中满足面积角Regge演算的约束。此外,伊米尔齐参数不受壳层作用量的影响,而相对于面积变化的平稳性要求时空几何是平坦的。

英文摘要:

Spin foam models for quantum gravity are derived from lattice path integrals. The setting involves variables from both lattice BF theory and Regge calculus. The action consists in a Regge action, which depends on areas, dihedral angles and includes the Immirzi parameter. In addition, a measure is inserted to ensure a consistent gluing of simplices, so that the amplitude is dominated by configurations which satisfy the parallel transport relations. We explicitly compute the path integral as a sum over spin foams for a generic measure. The Freidel-Krasnov and Engle-Pereira-Rovelli models correspond to a special choice of gluing. In this case, the equations of motion describe genuine geometries, where the constraints of area-angle Regge calculus are satisfied. Furthermore, the Immirzi parameter drops out of the on-shell action, and stationarity with respect to area variations requires spacetime geometry to be flat.
