Barbero-Immirzi连接是否存在于不同的维度和签名中?

Do Barbero-Immirzi connections exist in different dimensions and signatures?

L. Fatibene, M. Francaviglia, S. Garruto

摘要:

我们将证明,除了在m = 4维中,在3维\leq m \leq 20中不存在自旋群的约化分裂。在第4维中,任何签名都存在约化分裂。特别回顾了欧几里得签名和洛伦兹签名,并详细研究了签名(2,2)。约化分裂允许在时空上定义一个整体SU(2)-连接,它以一种奇怪的方式编码标准自旋连接的完整性。LQG中使用的标准Barbero-Immirzi(BI)连接,然后通过限制到类空切片获得。该机制提供了对BI连接的全局性和协方差的良好控制,表明在4维以外的维度中,需要提供一些其他机制来定义BI连接的类似物并控制其全局性。

英文摘要:

We shall show that no reductive splitting of the spin group exists in dimension 3 \leq m \leq 20 other than in dimension m = 4. In dimension 4 there are reductive splittings in any signature. Euclidean and Lorentzian signatures are reviewed in particular and signature (2, 2) is investigated explicitly in detail. Reductive splittings allow to define a global SU(2)-connection over spacetime which encodes in an weird way the holonomy of the standard spin connection. The standard Barbero-Immirzi (BI) connection used in LQG is then obtained by restriction to a spacelike slice. This mechanism provides a good control on globality and covariance of BI connection showing that in dimension other than 4 one needs to provide some other mechanism to define the analogous of BI connection and control its globality.
