精确重整化群中的冗余算子和渐近安全的f(R)逼近

Redundant operators in the exact renormalisation group and in the f(R) approximation to asymptotic safety

Juergen A. Dietz, Tim R. Morris

摘要:

本文综述了正合重整化群中冗余算子的定义和性质。我们解释为什么它是重要的,要求他们是本征算子,为什么一般来说,他们只出现作为一个后果的对称性的特定选择的重整化群方程。这澄清了什么时候牛顿常数和/或宇宙学常数可以被认为是不重要的。然后,我们将这些想法应用到局部势近似和近似的类似精神,如f(R)近似的渐近安全计划在量子引力。我们表明,这些近似可以打破,如果不动点不支持“真空”的解决方案在适当的域:所有的本征算子成为冗余和物理空间的扰动崩溃到一个点。我们表明,这是最近发现的线的不动点的f(R)流方程的情况。

英文摘要:

In this paper we review the definition and properties of redundant operators in the exact renormalisation group. We explain why it is important to require them to be eigenoperators and why generically they appear only as a consequence of symmetries of the particular choice of renormalisation group equations. This clarifies when Newton's constant and or the cosmological constant can be considered inessential. We then apply these ideas to the Local Potential Approximation and approximations of a similar spirit such as the f(R) approximation in the asymptotic safety programme in quantum gravity. We show that these approximations can break down if the fixed point does not support a `vacuum' solution in the appropriate domain: all eigenoperators become redundant and the physical space of perturbations collapses to a point. We show that this is the case for the recently discovered lines of fixed points in the f(R) flow equations.
