自旋泡沫量子引力中的发散

Divergences in spinfoam quantum gravity

Matteo Smerlak

摘要:

在这篇论文中,我们研究了量子引力的自旋泡沫方法的主要组成部分--平坦模型,并着重讨论了它的发散性。除了对量子引力问题的个人介绍外,手稿由两部分组成。在第一部分中,我们利用离散规范理论和扭曲上同调理论的工具,建立了一个精确的扁模型泡状发散的幂次计算公式。第二部分从格点场论和群场论两个角度讨论了自旋泡沫连续极限问题。特别是,我们提出了一个新的证明的Borel求和的Boulatov-Freidel-Louapre模型,与改进的控制大自旋标度行为。最后,我们展望了自旋泡沫量子引力的重整化方案。

英文摘要:

In this thesis we study the flat model, the main buidling block for the spinfoam approach to quantum gravity, with an emphasis on its divergences. Besides a personal introduction to the problem of quantum gravity, the manuscript consists in two part. In the first one, we establish an exact powercounting formula for the bubble divergences of the flat model, using tools from discrete gauge theory and twisted cohomology. In the second one, we address the issue of spinfoam continuum limit, both from the lattice field theory and the group field theory perspectives. In particular, we put forward a new proof of the Borel summability of the Boulatov-Freidel-Louapre model, with an improved control over the large-spin scaling behaviour. We conclude with an outlook of the renormalization program in spinfoam quantum gravity.
