关系四边形I.经典理论

Relational Quadrilateralland. I. The Classical Theory

Edward Anderson

摘要:

相对粒子力学模型支持了绝对运动与相对运动之争的关系方面,并且是广义相对论及其时间问题的动力学公式的玩具模型。它们涵盖了两个更普遍研究的小超空间广义相对论模型所没有的方面:1)具有非平凡的结构概念,从而具有宇宙结构形成和定域记录的概念。2)它们具有线性和二次约束,这对于建模许多时间问题方面至关重要。我以前解决了关系三角和经典,量子力学和关于时间问题的局部解决方案。这依赖于三角形的形状空间是S^2,等距群SO(3),允许使用广为人知的几何,方法和原子/分子物理学类比。我现在将这项工作扩展到关系四边形,这是更典型的一般N-a-gon,代表了一个“对角到非对角Bianchi IX minissuperspace”的复杂性,并编码进一步的时间问题的微妙之处。形状空间现在是CP ^2,等距群SU(3)/Z_3,我现在需要利用几何学,形状统计学和粒子物理学来解决这个模型;因此,这是一个跨学科的论文。本文在经典水平上处理四边形和,然后论文II提供了量子处理。

英文摘要:

Relational particle mechanics models bolster the relational side of the absolute versus relational motion debate, and are additionally toy models for the dynamical formulation of General Relativity and its Problem of Time. They cover two aspects that the more commonly studied minisuperspace General Relativity models do not: 1) by having a nontrivial notion of structure and thus of cosmological structure formation and of localized records. 2) They have linear as well as quadratic constraints, which is crucial as regards modelling many Problem of Time facets. I previously solved relational triangleland classically, quantum mechanically and as regards a local resolution of the Problem of Time. This rested on triangleland's shape space being S^2 with isometry group SO(3), allowing for use of widely-known Geometry, Methods and Atomic/Molecular Physics analogies. I now extend this work to the relational quadrilateral, which is far more typical of the general N-a-gon, represents a `diagonal to nondiagonal Bianchi IX minisuperspace' step-up in complexity, and encodes further Problem of Time subtleties. The shape space now being CP^2 with isometry group SU(3)/Z_3, I now need to draw on Geometry, Shape Statistics and Particle Physics to solve this model; this is therefore an interdisciplinary paper. This Paper treats quadrilateralland at the classical level, and then Paper II provides a quantum treatment.
