deSitter时空中的无质量相互作用量子场

Massless interacting quantum fields in deSitter spacetime

Stefan Hollands

摘要:

我们将arXiv:1010.5367(以及arXiv:1010.5327)的关键方面推广到deSitter时空上的{ \em无质量} $λϕ^{2n}$量子场论的情况。在该文件中,我们的主要目标是推导出一个合适的“梅林-巴恩斯型”表示的deSitter关联函数在deSitter不变的状态,它持有任意阶微扰理论,并纳入重整化。该表示法适用于研究关联函数的大距离/时间特性。它是通过球面上相应对象的解析延拓得到的,并且,在大量的情况下,依赖于使用图多项式及其性质,以及其他工具。然而,在无质量的情况下,微扰展开的组织有些不同,这是由于量子场的“零模”所具有的众所周知的微妙之处。特别地,当场的自耦合常数趋于零时,关联函数不具有明确的极限,这反映了自由无质量标量理论中不存在deSitter不变态。我们建立了通用的关联函数不能增长超过多项式在适当的时间为大的时间样的分离点。因此,我们的结果留下了开放的可能性量子诱导红外不稳定性的deSitter时空非常大的时间尺度。

英文摘要:

We generalize key aspects of arXiv:1010.5367 (and also arXiv:1010.5327) to the case of {\em massless} $λϕ^{2n}$ quantum field theory on deSitter spacetime. As in that paper, our key objective is to derive a suitable "Mellin-Barnes-type" representation of deSitter correlation functions in a deSitter-invariant state, which holds to arbitrary orders in perturbation theory, and which incorporates renormalization. The representation is suitable for the study of large distance/time properties of correlation functions. It is arrived at via an analytic continuation from the corresponding objects on the sphere, and, as in the massive case, relies on the use of graph-polynomials and their properties, as well as other tools. However, the perturbation expansion is organized somewhat differently in the massless case, due to the well-known subtleties associated with the "zero-mode" of the quantum field. In particular, the correlation functions do not possess a well-defined limit as the self-coupling constant of the field goes to zero, reflecting the well-known non-existence of a deSitter invariant state in the free massless scalar theory. We establish that generic correlation functions cannot grow more than polynomially in proper time for large time-like separations of the points. Our results thus leave open the possibility of quantum induced IR-instabilities of deSitter spacetime on very large time-scales.
