从离散引力的协变式到正则式

From covariant to canonical formulations of discrete gravity

Bianca Dittrich, Philipp A Hoehn

摘要:

从离散引力的作用出发,我们推导出一个正则形式主义,它精确地再现了协变形式主义的动力学和(破)对称性。对于线性Regge演算在一个平坦的背景-这表现出精确的规范对称性-我们推导出本地和第一类约束任意三角柯西曲面。这些约束有一个明确的几何解释,是迈向获得规范格点引力无异常约束代数的第一步。考虑到高阶动力学,作用的对称性被打破。这将导致一致性条件的背景规范参数所产生的最低的非线性运动方程。在正则框架中,对二次阶的约束依赖于背景规范参数,因此是伪约束。这些考虑对于连接引力的路径积分和正则量子化是很重要的,特别是当人们尝试微扰展开时。

英文摘要:

Starting from an action for discretized gravity we derive a canonical formalism that exactly reproduces the dynamics and (broken) symmetries of the covariant formalism. For linearized Regge calculus on a flat background -- which exhibits exact gauge symmetries -- we derive local and first class constraints for arbitrary triangulated Cauchy surfaces. These constraints have a clear geometric interpretation and are a first step towards obtaining anomaly--free constraint algebras for canonical lattice gravity. Taking higher order dynamics into account the symmetries of the action are broken. This results in consistency conditions on the background gauge parameters arising from the lowest non--linear equations of motion. In the canonical framework the constraints to quadratic order turn out to depend on the background gauge parameters and are therefore pseudo constraints. These considerations are important for connecting path integral and canonical quantizations of gravity, in particular if one attempts a perturbative expansion.
