2+1维形状动力学

Shape Dynamics in 2+1 Dimensions

Timothy Budd, Tim Koslowski

摘要:

形状动力学是广义相对论的一个公式,其中将落叶不变性交换为局部空间共形不变性。在本文中,我们明确地构建了2+1维环面宇宙的形状动力学,通过连接规范理论,确保动力学等价于广义相对论。我们得到的哈密顿量形式上是一个约化的相空间哈密顿量。高亏格曲面上的形状动力学哈密顿量的构造是不可能的,但我们给出了大CMC体积下形状动力学哈密顿量的显式展开。所有的局部约束在动量上都是线性的,这一事实使我们能够显式地对这些约束进行量化,并且形状动力学的量化问题被证明等价于减少的相空间量化。我们考虑了波函数保角变换的大CMC体积渐近性。然后,我们使用2-torus上的形状动力学的相似性与明确可构造的强引力(BKL)形状动力学哈密顿在更高的维度,建议形状动力学的量子化策略。

英文摘要:

Shape Dynamics is a formulation of General Relativity where refoliation invariance is traded for local spatial conformal invariance. In this paper we explicitly construct Shape Dynamics for a torus universe in 2+1 dimensions through a linking gauge theory that ensures dynamical equivalence with General Relativity. The Hamiltonian we obtain is formally a reduced phase space Hamiltonian. The construction of the Shape Dynamics Hamiltonian on higher genus surfaces is not explicitly possible, but we give an explicit expansion of the Shape Dynamics Hamiltonian for large CMC volume. The fact that all local constraints are linear in momenta allows us to quantize these explicitly, and the quantization problem for Shape Dynamics turns out to be equivalent to reduced phase space quantization. We consider the large CMC-volume asymptotics of conformal transformations of the wave function. We then use the similarity of Shape Dynamics on the 2-torus with the explicitly constructible strong gravity (BKL) Shape Dynamics Hamiltonian in higher dimensions to suggest a quantization strategy for Shape Dynamics.
