形状动力学中时间问题的求解

The Solution to the Problem of Time in Shape Dynamics

Julian Barbour, Tim Koslowski, Flavio Mercati

摘要:

在爱因斯坦的引力时空描述中,没有唯一的时间演化,这导致了迄今为止量子引力中尚未解决的“时间问题”。形状动力学是一个客观的等价表示的重力,贸易时空refoliation不变性的三维共形不变性。这里给出的逻辑完成给出了引力动力学的无量纲描述。我们表明,在这个框架中的经典问题的时间是完全解决。由于在时空描述中不可能有一个类似的确定性解,我们相信形状动力学为量子引力的产生提供了一个关键因素。

英文摘要:

The absence of unique time evolution in Einstein's spacetime description of gravity leads to the hitherto unresolved `problem of time' in quantum gravity. Shape Dynamics is an objectively equivalent representation of gravity that trades spacetime refoliation invariance for three-dimensional conformal invariance. Its logical completion presented here gives a dimensionless description of gravitational dynamics. We show that in this framework the classical problem of time is completely solved. Since a comparable definitive solution is impossible within the spacetime description, we believe Shape Dynamics provides a key ingredient for the creation of quantum gravity.
