三球上含时质量标量场的Fock量子化:么正性和唯一性

Fock quantization of a scalar field with time dependent mass on the three-sphere: unitarity and uniqueness

Jeronimo Cortez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugan, Jose M. Velhinho

摘要:

我们研究的Fock描述的量子自由场的三个球的质量,明确地依赖于时间,也可以解释为一个明确的时间依赖的二次势。我们表明,在相当温和的限制下的质量的时间依赖性,特定的Fock表示的规范的对易关系,这是自然地与无质量的自由场提供了一个单一的动态,即使当随时间变化的质量是存在的。此外,我们还证明了,如果真空必须是SO(4)-不变的(即,在场方程的对称性下不变),并且动力学要求是酉的。特别是,量子化的分析和唯一性可以应用于处理具有三球空间拓扑的弗里德曼-罗伯逊-沃克时空周围的宇宙学扰动,例如引力波(张量扰动)。此外,我们分析了我们的结果的扩展到自由场的时间依赖的质量定义在其他紧凑的空间流形。我们证明了Fock表示的唯一性的情况下,两个球,以及讨论的情况下,一个三环面。

英文摘要:

We study the Fock description of a quantum free field on the three-sphere with a mass that depends explicitly on time, also interpretable as an explicitly time dependent quadratic potential. We show that, under quite mild restrictions on the time dependence of the mass, the specific Fock representation of the canonical commutation relations which is naturally associated with a massless free field provides a unitary dynamics even when the time varying mass is present. Moreover, we demonstrate that this Fock representation is the only acceptable one, up to unitary equivalence, if the vacuum has to be SO(4)-invariant (i.e., invariant under the symmetries of the field equation) and the dynamics is required to be unitary. In particular, the analysis and uniqueness of the quantization can be applied to the treatment of cosmological perturbations around Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes with the spatial topology of the three-sphere, like e.g. for gravitational waves (tensor perturbations). In addition, we analyze the extension of our results to free fields with a time dependent mass defined on other compact spatial manifolds. We prove the uniqueness of the Fock representation in the case of a two-sphere as well, and discuss the case of a three-torus.
