Immirzi参数作为瞬子角

The Immirzi Parameter as an Instanton Angle

Simone Mercuri, Andrew Randono

摘要:

巴贝罗-伊米尔齐参数是一个单参数量子化模糊性,它支撑着量子引力的回路方法,与杨-米尔斯和QCD等规范理论的θ参数有着惊人的相似之处。尽管有明显的语义,Barbero-Immirzi场一直抵制直接的拓扑解释沿着相同的线θ参数。在这里,我们提供这样一种解释。我们的方法开始从爱因斯坦-嘉当引力的角度来看,对称破缺阶段的德西特规范理论。从这个角度来看,就像在普通的规范理论中一样,一个θ项出现在真空对量子力学隧穿是稳定的这一要求中。伊米兹参数被认为是牛顿常数、宇宙学常数和θ参数的组合。

英文摘要:

The Barbero-Immirzi parameter is a one parameter quantization ambiguity underpinning the loop approach to quantum gravity that bears tantalizing similarities to the theta parameter of gauge theories such as Yang-Mills and QCD. Despite the apparent semblance, the Barbero-Immirzi field has resisted a direct topological interpretation along the same lines as the theta-parameter. Here we offer such an interpretation. Our approach begins from the perspective of Einstein-Cartan gravity as the symmetry broken phase of a de Sitter gauge theory. From this angle, just as in ordinary gauge theories, a theta-term emerges from the requirement that the vacuum is stable against quantum mechanical tunneling. The Immirzi parameter is then identified as a combination of Newton's constant, the cosmological constant, and the theta-parameter.
