摘要:

本文的目的是介绍一个系统的方法来纺泡沫。我们定义的运营商自旋泡沫,即泡沫标记的群表示和运营商,作为主要工具。一个等价关系,我们强加在一组运营商自旋泡沫允许分裂的面和边缘的泡沫。与该关系的一致性需要引入(熟悉BF理论)面振幅。操作员自旋泡沫模型的定义相当普遍。强加一个最大的对称性导致一个家庭,我们称之为自然运营商自旋泡沫模型。这种对称性,再加上分裂边缘的要求一致性,决定了一般自然模型的完整表征。它可以通过对任意BF自旋泡沫模型施加任意(量子)约束来获得。特别地,对Spin(4)BF自旋泡沫模型施加适当的约束正是我们倾向于看待4d量子引力的方式,从BC模型开始,继续到EPRL或FK模型。这使得我们的框架直接适用于这些模型。具体来说,我们的运营商自旋泡沫框架可以被翻译成自旋泡沫和配分函数的语言。我们讨论的例子:BF自旋泡沫模型,BC模型,并通过我们的框架的应用程序获得的模型EPRL交织器。

英文摘要:

The goal of this paper is to introduce a systematic approach to spin foams. We define operator spin foams, that is foams labelled by group representations and operators, as the main tool. An equivalence relation we impose in the set of the operator spin foams allows to split the faces and the edges of the foams. The consistency with that relation requires introduction of the (familiar for the BF theory) face amplitude. The operator spin foam models are defined quite generally. Imposing a maximal symmetry leads to a family we call natural operator spin foam models. This symmetry, combined with demanding consistency with splitting the edges, determines a complete characterization of a general natural model. It can be obtained by applying arbitrary (quantum) constraints on an arbitrary BF spin foam model. In particular, imposing suitable constraints on Spin(4) BF spin foam model is exactly the way we tend to view 4d quantum gravity, starting with the BC model and continuing with the EPRL or FK models. That makes our framework directly applicable to those models. Specifically, our operator spin foam framework can be translated into the language of spin foams and partition functions. We discuss the examples: BF spin foam model, the BC model, and the model obtained by application of our framework to the EPRL intertwiners.
