正宇宙学常数的渐近性:I.基本框架

Asymptotics with a positive cosmological constant: I. Basic framework

Abhay Ashtekar, Beatrice Bonga, Aruna Kesavan

摘要:

本文详细分析了当宇宙学常数$Λ$为零时孤立系引力场的渐近结构。由此产生的框架是在引力科学的不同领域的研究的基础。示例包括:(1)几何分析中的正能量定理;(2)完全非线性广义相对论中引力波的坐标不变特征;(3)数值相对论和相对论天体物理学中引力坍缩和双星合并中的能量动量发射计算;和iv)构造渐近Hilbert空间以计算$S$ -矩阵,分析了黑洞量子蒸发中的信息损失问题。然而,到目前为止,观测已经确定$Λ$在我们的宇宙中是正的。在本文中,我们表明,不幸的是,标准的框架不从$Λ=0$的情况下,$Λ>0$的情况下,在物理上有用的方式扩展。特别是,我们没有正能量定理,也没有引力波在非线性状态下的不变概念,也没有半经典引力动力学情况下的渐近希尔伯特空间。一个合适的框架,以解决这些直接物理重要性的概念问题,在随后的文件。

英文摘要:

The asymptotic structure of the gravitational field of isolated systems has been analyzed in great detail in the case when the cosmological constant $Λ$ is zero. The resulting framework lies at the foundation of research in diverse areas in gravitational science. Examples include: i) positive energy theorems in geometric analysis; ii) the coordinate invariant characterization of gravitational waves in full, non-linear general relativity; iii) computations of the energy-momentum emission in gravitational collapse and binary mergers in numerical relativity and relativistic astrophysics; and iv) constructions of asymptotic Hilbert spaces to calculate $S$-matrices and analyze the issue of information loss in the quantum evaporation of black holes. However, by now observations have established that $Λ$ is positive in our universe. In this paper we show that, unfortunately, the standard framework does not extend from the $Λ=0$ case to the $Λ>0$ case in a physically useful manner. In particular, we do not have positive energy theorems, nor an invariant notion of gravitational waves in the non-linear regime, nor asymptotic Hilbert spaces in dynamical situations of semi-classical gravity. A suitable framework to address these conceptual issues of direct physical importance is developed in subsequent papers.
