更高的曲率反项导致了圈宇宙学中的反弹

Higher curvature counter terms cause the bounce in loop cosmology

Robert C. Helling

摘要:

在引力量子化的循环方法中,人们使用了一个希尔伯特空间,这个空间对于某些算子来说太奇异了,以至于不能实现为导数。这通常通过使用普朗克尺度的有限差分算子来解决,这一过程被称为“聚合”。在对称性减少的循环宇宙学的例子中,我们研究了一个模糊的正规化,我们涉及到的模糊性固定系数的无限多个更高的曲率计数器项增加爱因斯坦-希尔伯特行动。因此,这种情况类似于在截断条件下对量子引力进行简单的微扰处理,在这种情况下,无限多个高阶导数项的存在必然会损害可预测性。作为一个副产品,我们在附录中证明,有可能有更高的引力曲率作用,这仍然导致一阶运动方程,如弗里德曼的情况。

英文摘要:

In the loop approach to the quantisation of gravity, one uses a Hilbert space which is too singular for some operators to be realised as derivatives. This is usually addressed by instead using finite difference operators at the Planck scale, a process known as ``polymerisation''. In the symmetry reduced example of loop cosmology, we study an ambiguity in the regularisation which we relate to the ambiguity of fixing the coefficients of infinitely many higher curvature counter terms augmenting the Einstein-Hilbert action. Thus the situation is comparable to he one in a naive perturbative treatment of quantum gravity with a cut-off where the necessary presence of infinitely many higher derivative terms compromises predictability. As a by-product, we demonstrate in an appendix that it is possible to have higher curvature actions for gravity which still lead to first order equations of motion like in the Friedmann case.
