圈量子宇宙学与自旋泡沫

Loop Quantum Cosmology and Spin Foams

Abhay Ashtekar, Miguel Campiglia, Adam Henderson

摘要:

圈量子宇宙学(LQC)是用来提供具体的证据,支持自旋泡沫模型(SFM)的一般范式。具体地说,它表明:i)在无时间框架中的物理内积等于在去参数化理论中的跃迁振幅,ii)对于第$M$项只涉及$M$体跃迁而不涉及跃迁发生的时间的SFM,这个量允许%收敛的顶点展开; iii)通过仅对离散几何求和获得精确的物理内积;不涉及“连续极限”;以及iv)顶点展开可以被解释为群场论精神中的微扰展开。这种历史上的总和LQC的重新表述也解决了某些其他问题,简要总结。

英文摘要:

Loop quantum cosmology (LQC) is used to provide concrete evidence in support of the general paradigm underlying spin foam models (SFMs). Specifically, it is shown that: i) the physical inner product in the timeless framework equals the transition amplitude in the deparameterized theory; ii) this quantity admits a %convergent vertex expansion a la SFMs in which the $M$-th term refers just to $M$ volume transitions, without any reference to the time at which the transition takes place; iii) the exact physical inner product is obtained by summing over just the discrete geometries; no `continuum limit' is involved; and, iv) the vertex expansion can be interpreted as a perturbative expansion in the spirit of group field theory. This sum over histories reformulation of LQC also addresses certain other issues which are briefly summarized.
