CDT量子引力中度规的签名变化?

Signature Change of the Metric in CDT Quantum Gravity?

Jan Ambjørn, Daniel N. Coumbe, Jakub Gizbert-Studnicki, Jerzy Jurkiewicz

摘要:

研究了CDT量子引力半经典相和分岔相的有效转移矩阵。我们发现,对于足够大的晶格体积的有效传输矩阵的动力学项有一个不同的符号,在每一个的两个阶段。我们认为,这种符号的变化可以被看作是一个威克旋转的度量。我们讨论了可能的微观机制负责的分岔相变,并提出了一个序参量,可以潜在地被用来确定精确的位置和顺序的过渡。使用有效的传输矩阵,我们近似地定位在某些区域的耦合常数空间的分岔过渡的位置,使我们能够提出一个更新版本的CDT相图。

英文摘要:

We study the effective transfer matrix within the semiclassical and bifurcation phases of CDT quantum gravity. We find that for sufficiently large lattice volumes the kinetic term of the effective transfer matrix has a different sign in each of the two phases. We argue that this sign change can be viewed as a Wick rotation of the metric. We discuss the likely microscopic mechanism responsible for the bifurcation phase transition, and propose an order parameter that can potentially be used to determine the precise location and order of the transition. Using the effective transfer matrix we approximately locate the position of the bifurcation transition in some region of coupling constant space, allowing us to present an updated version of the CDT phase diagram.
