自旋泡沫演化下量子4-单形的边界态稳定性
Boundary State Stability under Spinfoam Evolution for the Quantum 4-Simplex
摘要:
在量子引力的spinfoam框架下,研究了4d量子引力路径积分的Barrett-Crane模型存在物理量子态的条件.更确切地说,我们看一个简单的情况下,一个单一的4-单形边界和显示,工作与物理边界状态的要求固定的宽度的半经典高斯波包的边界三维几何。这与在这个框架中进行的引力子传播子计算直接相关,因为高斯宽度在大尺度渐近极限中进入引力子相关之前的数值因子。最后,我们讨论了我们的计算的Barrett-Crane模型超出了第一阶(一个单一的4-单纯体的散装)和最近的EPRL-FK spinfoam模型的应用。
英文摘要:
In the spinfoam framework for quantum gravity, we investigate the conditions to have a physical quantum state for the Barrett-Crane model for the 4d quantum gravity path integral. More precisely, we look at the simplest case of a single 4-simplex boundary and show that the requirement of working with a physical boundary state fixes the width of the semi-classical Gaussian wave-packet for the boundary 3d geometry. This is directly relevant to the graviton propagator calculations done in this framework, since the Gaussian width enters the numerical factors in front of the graviton correlations in the large scale asymptotical limit. Finally, we discuss the application of our computations to the Barrett-Crane model beyond the first order (of a single 4-simplex in the bulk) and to the more recent EPRL-FK spinfoam model.
