自旋泡沫分形时空

Fractal Space-Time from Spin-Foams

Elena Magliaro, Claudio Perini, Leonardo Modesto

摘要:

本文用Barrett-Crane(BC)自旋泡沫模型计算了四维量子引力中时空的谱维数。我们意识到这一点,考虑一个非常简单的分解的4d时空已经使用的引力子传播计算,我们引入了一个边界状态,选择一个经典的几何边界。当探测标量场的能量从高$E \lesssim E_P/25$降低到低能量时,我们得到时空的谱维数从$\approx 2$到4,穿过一个$\approx 1.5$相位。普朗克尺度下的光谱维数$E \approx E_P$取决于计算中使用的面积谱。对于三种不同的光谱$l_P^2 \sqrt{j(j+1)}$、$l_P^2 (2 j+1)$和$l_P^2 j$,我们分别发现维数$\approx 2.31$为2.45和2.08。

英文摘要:

In this paper we perform the calculation of the spectral dimension of spacetime in 4d quantum gravity using the Barrett-Crane (BC) spinfoam model. We realize this considering a very simple decomposition of the 4d spacetime already used in the graviton propagator calculation and we introduce a boundary state which selects a classical geometry on the boundary. We obtain that the spectral dimension of the spacetime runs from $\approx 2$ to 4, across a $\approx 1.5$ phase, when the energy of a probe scalar field decreases from high $E \lesssim E_P/25$ to low energy. The spectral dimension at the Planck scale $E \approx E_P$ depends on the areas spectrum used in the calculation. For three different spectra $l_P^2 \sqrt{j(j+1)}$, $l_P^2 (2 j+1)$ and $l_P^2 j$ we find respectively dimension $\approx 2.31$, 2.45 and 2.08.
