圈量子宇宙学中奇异性分辨和唯一性的几何透视

A geometric perspective on singularity resolution and uniqueness in loop quantum cosmology

Alejandro Corichi, Parampreet Singh

摘要:

从膨胀率和剪切标量等几何实体的角度重新研究了均匀圈量子宇宙学中的奇点分辨问题。这些量是时空性质的非常可靠的度量,不仅可以在经典和有效的水平上定义,而且可以在量子理论的算符水平上定义。从它们在有效约束面和有效圈量子时空中的行为,我们表明,人们可以严格限制量子约束正则化中的模糊性,并排除非物理选择。我们在平坦各向同性模型和Bianchi-I时空中对此进行了分析。在前一种情况下,我们表明,膨胀率是绝对有界的,只有所谓的改进的量化,协同与此量化的唯一性,如前所述的结果。令人惊讶的是,对于Bianchi-I时空,我们表明,在可用的选择,膨胀率和剪切是有界的量子约束只有一个正则化。事实证明,只有这种选择,理论才能在独特的尺度上表现出量子引力修正,并且在物理上是可行的。

英文摘要:

We re-examine the issue of singularity resolution in homogeneous loop quantum cosmology from the perspective of geometrical entities such as expansion rate and the shear scalar. These quantities are very reliable measures of the properties of spacetime and can be defined not only at the classical and effective level, but also at an operator level in the quantum theory. From their behavior in the effective constraint surface and in the effective loop quantum spacetime, we show that one can severely restrict the ambiguities in regularization of the quantum constraint and rule out unphysical choices. We analyze this in the flat isotropic model and the Bianchi-I spacetimes. In the former case we show that the expansion rate is absolutely bounded only for the so called improved quantization, a result which synergizes with uniqueness of this quantization as proved earlier. Surprisingly, for the Bianchi-I spacetime, we show that out of the available choices, the expansion rate and shear are bounded for only one regularization of the quantum constraint. It turns out that only for this choice, the theory exhibits quantum gravity corrections at a unique scale, and is physically viable.
