常曲率时空中传播子的量子引力修正

Quantum gravitational corrections to the propagator in spacetimes with constant curvature

Dawood Kothawala, S. Shankaranarayanan, L. Sriramkumar

摘要:

存在一个最小和基本的长度尺度,比如普朗克长度,是几乎所有量子引力模型的一个特征。基本长度的存在,预计将导致改善的半经典传播子的紫外行为。路径积分对偶性假设提供了一个计算给定时空中自由量子标量场的修正传播子的方法,该方法考虑了基本长度以局部洛伦兹不变方式的存在。我们利用这个公式计算了常曲率时空中传播子的量子引力修正,并证明了:(i)修正后的传播子是紫外有限的,(ii)修正后的传播子在普朗克长度内是非微扰的.我们讨论了我们的结果的影响。

英文摘要:

The existence of a minimal and fundamental length scale, say, the Planck length, is a characteristic feature of almost all the models of quantum gravity. The presence of the fundamental length is expected to lead to an improved ultra-violet behavior of the semi-classical propagators. The hypothesis of path integral duality provides a prescription to evaluate the modified propagator of a free, quantum scalar field in a given spacetime, taking into account the existence of the fundamental length in a locally Lorentz invariant manner. We use this prescription to compute the quantum gravitational modifications to the propagators in spacetimes with constant curvature, and show that: (i) the modified propagators are ultra-violet finite, and (ii) the modifications are non-perturbative in the Planck length. We discuss the implications of our results.
