量子宇宙学:有效理论

Quantum Cosmology: Effective Theory

Martin Bojowald

摘要:

量子宇宙学传统上是在量子化的微型超空间模型水平上研究的,分析波函数的行为。然而,在没有一个完整的量子引力和量子态的具体属性的详细知识的情况下,仍然很难做出可测试的预测。要使量子宇宙学成为经验科学的一部分,它必须允许一个系统的框架,在这个框架中,可以导出对经过充分检验的经典方程的修正,任何模糊和无知都可以充分参数化。就像在粒子和凝聚态物理中一样,一个成功的观点是一个有效的理论,适用于量子宇宙学中遇到的特定问题。本文介绍了这样一个有效的量子宇宙学框架,考虑到,除其他事项外,时空结构,协方差,时间问题和异常问题。

英文摘要:

Quantum cosmology has traditionally been studied at the level of symmetry-reduced minisuperspace models, analyzing the behavior of wave functions. However, in the absence of a complete full setting of quantum gravity and detailed knowledge of specific properties of quantum states, it remained difficult to make testable predictions. For quantum cosmology to be part of empirical science, it must allow for a systematic framework in which corrections to well-tested classical equations can be derived, with any ambiguities and ignorance sufficiently parameterized. As in particle and condensed-matter physics, a successful viewpoint is one of effective theories, adapted to specific issues one encounters in quantum cosmology. This review presents such an effective framework of quantum cosmology, taking into account, among other things, space-time structures, covariance, the problem of time and the anomaly issue.
