耦合缠绕动力学:一个将物质耦合到自旋泡沫模型的玩具模型

Coupled intertwiner dynamics: A toy model for coupling matter to spin foam models

Sebastian Steinhaus

摘要:

物质与引力的万有耦合是广义相对论最重要的特征之一。在量子引力中,特别是自旋泡沫中,物质耦合在过去已经被定义,但是相互动力学,特别是如果物质和引力是强耦合的,几乎没有被探索,这与离散化上物质和引力自由度的定义有关。然而,提取这种相互动力学是至关重要的自旋泡沫方法的可行性测试,也建立连接到其他离散的方法,如格点规范理论。因此,我们介绍一个简单的二维玩具模型杨-米尔斯耦合到自旋泡沫,即伊辛模型耦合到所谓的缠绕模型定义为$\text{SU}(2)_k$。这两个系统通过选择伊辛耦合常数来耦合,以依赖于背景的自旋标签,因为这些被解释为离散化的边长。我们粗粒这个玩具模型通过张量网络重整化和发现一个有趣的动力学:伊辛相变温度原来是敏感的背景配置,相反,伊辛模型可以诱导相变的背景。此外,我们观察到一个强耦合的两个系统,如果接近两个相变。

英文摘要:

The universal coupling of matter and gravity is one of the most important features of general relativity. In quantum gravity, in particular spin foams, matter couplings have been defined in the past, yet the mutual dynamics, in particular if matter and gravity are strongly coupled, are hardly explored, which is related to the definition of both matter and gravitational degrees of freedom on the discretisation. However extracting this mutual dynamics is crucial in testing the viability of the spin foam approach and also establishing connections to other discrete approaches such as lattice gauge theories. Therefore, we introduce a simple 2D toy model for Yang--Mills coupled to spin foams, namely an Ising model coupled to so--called intertwiner models defined for $\text{SU}(2)_k$. The two systems are coupled by choosing the Ising coupling constant to depend on spin labels of the background, as these are interpreted as the edge lengths of the discretisation. We coarse grain this toy model via tensor network renormalization and uncover an interesting dynamics: the Ising phase transition temperature turns out to be sensitive to the background configurations and conversely, the Ising model can induce phase transitions in the background. Moreover, we observe a strong coupling of both systems if close to both phase transitions.
