分段线性时空量子引力理论中的宇宙学常数

Cosmological Constant in a Quantum Gravity Theory for a Piecewise-linear Spacetime

Aleksandar Mikovic, Marko Vojinovic

摘要:

研究了在光滑流形三角剖分的分段线性时空上,物质的广义相对论的量子引力理论中,量子引力对经典宇宙学常数的贡献。我们使用有效作用量方法和一个特殊的路径积分(PI)措施,这取决于一个自由参数,而物质是由一个大规模的自相互作用的标量场。有效宇宙学常数(CC)由经典CC、量子引力CC和物质CC三项之和给出。我们表明,自由参数的理论可以选择,使经典CC取消的物质CC,使有效的CC是由QG CC。由于量子引力CC的值仅由PI测度确定,因此可以选择PI测度参数,使得有效CC给出观测值。这等价于实验观测到的CC值属于该QG理论中CC算子的谱的陈述。

英文摘要:

We study the quantum contributions to the classical cosmological constant in a quantum gravity theory for GR with matter on a piecewise linear spacetime corresponding to a triangulation of a smooth manifold. We use the effective action approach and a special path-integral (PI) measure which depends on a free parameter, while matter is modeled by a massive self-interacting scalar field. The effective cosmological constant (CC) is given as a sum of 3 terms: the classical CC, the quantum gravity CC and the matter CC. We show that the free parameters of the theory can be chosen such that the classical CC cancels the matter CC so that the effective CC is given by the QG CC. Since the value of the quantum gravity CC is determined by the PI measure only, the PI measure parameter can be chosen such that the effective CC gives the observed value. This is equivalent to the statement that the experimentally observed CC value belongs to the spectrum of the CC operator in this QG theory.
