因果动力学三角剖分与对量子引力的探索

Causal Dynamical Triangulations and the Quest for Quantum Gravity

J. Ambjorn, J. Jurkiewicz, R. Loll

摘要:

在过去的几年里,因果动力三角剖分的量子引力已经成为理论非微扰描述的有力竞争者。这是一个非微扰的实现的总和在历史上,它依赖于几个成分和初始假设,有几个自由参数和-至关重要的-是服从数值模拟。这是唯一的方法已经证明,一个经典的宇宙可以动态地产生从普朗克量子涨落。与此同时,它允许明确评估的期望值的不变量的高度非经典,短距离的时空行为的特征。作为额外的收获,我们已经学到了重要的经验教训,即时空的哪些方面需要先验地固定为背景结构的一部分,哪些方面可以预期动态地出现。

英文摘要:

Quantum Gravity by Causal Dynamical Triangulation has over the last few years emerged as a serious contender for a nonperturbative description of the theory. It is a nonperturbative implementation of the sum-over-histories, which relies on few ingredients and initial assumptions, has few free parameters and - crucially - is amenable to numerical simulations. It is the only approach to have demonstrated that a classical universe can be generated dynamically from Planckian quantum fluctuations. At the same time, it allows for the explicit evaluation of expectation values of invariants characterizing the highly nonclassical, short-distance behaviour of spacetime. As an added bonus, we have learned important lessons on which aspects of spacetime need to be fixed a priori as part of the background structure and which can be expected to emerge dynamically.
