自旋泡沫模型的有效action和半经典极限

Effective action and semiclassical limit of spin foam models

A. Mikovic, M. Vojinovic

摘要:

采用量子场论的背景场方法,定义了量子引力自旋泡沫模型的有效作用量。证明了如果顶点振幅具有与顶点Regge作用量的指数函数成正比的大自旋渐近性,则Regge作用量是自旋泡沫有效作用量的半经典展开式中的主导项.在已知的三维和四维自旋泡沫模型的情况下,这相当于修改顶点振幅,使得获得指数渐近性。特别是,我们表明,ELPR/FK模型的顶点振幅可以修改,使新的模型是有限的,并有爱因斯坦-希尔伯特作用作为其经典极限。我们还计算了有效作用量半经典展开中的一阶和部分二阶量子修正。

英文摘要:

We define an effective action for spin foam models of quantum gravity by adapting the background field method from quantum field theory. We show that the Regge action is the leading term in the semi-classical expansion of the spin foam effective action if the vertex amplitude has the large-spin asymptotics which is proportional to an exponential function of the vertex Regge action. In the case of the known three-dimensional and four-dimensional spin foam models this amounts to modifying the vertex amplitude such that the exponential asymptotics is obtained. In particular, we show that the ELPR/FK model vertex amplitude can be modified such that the new model is finite and has the Einstein-Hilbert action as its classical limit. We also calculate the first-order and some of the second-order quantum corrections in the semi-classical expansion of the effective action.
