对各向同性圈量子宇宙学理解的进一步改进

Further Improvements in the Understanding of Isotropic Loop Quantum Cosmology

Mercedes Martin-Benito, Guillermo A. Mena Marugan, Javier Olmedo

摘要:

具有无质量标量场的平坦、均匀、各向同性宇宙是圈量子宇宙学的一个典型模型。尽管该模型在物理学这一分支的发展中发挥了突出的作用,但它的量子化仍有一些方面值得更详细地讨论。这些方面包括宇宙学奇点的运动学解析,量子哈密顿约束的稠密化和非稠密化版本的解之间的精确关系,识别尽可能简单的超选择扇区的可能性,以及对与这些扇区中的理论相关的Wheeler-DeWitt(WDW)极限的清晰理解。我们提出了一个替代运营商表示的哈密顿约束,这是特别适合于处理这些问题,在一个令人满意的方式。特别是,与我们的约束算子,奇异性在运动学希尔伯特空间中,并可以删除已经在这一水平。由于这一事实,我们可以以严格的方式将量子哈密顿约束致密化。此外,与物理观测量一起,这个约束为宇宙体积超级选择简单的扇区,支持包含在实数线的单个半轴中,并且编码几何信息的基本函数具有最佳的物理性质。也就是说,他们提供了一个无边界的描述周围的宇宙学奇点,并承认一个定义良好的WDW限制的驻波。这两个属性解释了一个通用的量子反弹取代奇点在一个基本的水平,与以前的研究相比,反弹被证明在具体的制度,并集中在一个显着的半经典行为的状态。

英文摘要:

The flat, homogeneous, and isotropic universe with a massless scalar field is a paradigmatic model in Loop Quantum Cosmology. In spite of the prominent role that the model has played in the development of this branch of physics, there still remain some aspects of its quantization which deserve a more detailed discussion. These aspects include the kinematical resolution of the cosmological singularity, the precise relation between the solutions of the densitized and non-densitized versions of the quantum Hamiltonian constraint, the possibility of identifying superselection sectors which are as simple as possible, and a clear comprehension of the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) limit associated with the theory in those sectors. We propose an alternative operator to represent the Hamiltonian constraint which is specially suitable to deal with these issues in a satisfactory way. In particular, with our constraint operator, the singularity decouples in the kinematical Hilbert space and can be removed already at this level. Thanks to this fact, we can densitize the quantum Hamiltonian constraint in a rigorous manner. Besides, together with the physical observables, this constraint superselects simple sectors for the universe volume, with a support contained in a single semiaxis of the real line and for which the basic functions that encode the information about the geometry possess optimal physical properties. Namely, they provide a no-boundary description around the cosmological singularity and admit a well-defined WDW limit in terms of standing waves. Both properties explain the presence of a generic quantum bounce replacing the singularity at a fundamental level, in contrast with previous studies where the bounce was proved in concrete regimes and focusing on states with a marked semiclassical behavior.
