弦论是量子引力理论吗?

Is string theory a theory of quantum gravity?

Steven B. Giddings

摘要:

讨论了在建立一个包含引力的完备量子理论中的一些问题。一是对高能散射给出一致的么正描述。另一个是用适当的可观测量对宇宙学给出一个一致的量子描述。虽然弦论解决了量子引力的一些问题,但它解决这些问题的能力仍然不清楚。答案可能需要新的机制和结构,无论是在弦论中,还是在另一个框架中。

英文摘要:

Some problems in finding a complete quantum theory incorporating gravity are discussed. One is that of giving a consistent unitary description of high-energy scattering. Another is that of giving a consistent quantum description of cosmology, with appropriate observables. While string theory addresses some problems of quantum gravity, its ability to resolve these remains unclear. Answers may require new mechanisms and constructs, whether within string theory, or in another framework.
