自旋泡沫圈量子宇宙学自洽历史表述中的顶点展开

The Vertex Expansion in the Consistent Histories Formulation of Spin Foam Loop Quantum Cosmology

David Craig, Parampreet Singh

摘要:

为量子宇宙中的事件分配一致的量子概率是每个量子宇宙学/引力框架必须克服的基本挑战。在圈量子宇宙学中,这个问题引出了一个基本问题:宇宙经历非奇异反弹的概率是多少?最近,作者用正则方法对一个空间平坦的FRW模型成功地回答了这个问题。在本文中,我们得到了这个结果的协变推广。我们的分析是基于表达循环量子宇宙学的自旋泡沫范式和使用定义的历史通过体积转换计算的振幅使用顶点膨胀得到的过渡。我们表明,反弹的概率原来是统一的。

英文摘要:

Assignment of consistent quantum probabilities to events in a quantum universe is a fundamental challenge which every quantum cosmology/gravity framework must overcome. In loop quantum cosmology, this issue leads to a fundamental question: What is the probability that the universe undergoes a non-singular bounce? Using the consistent histories formulation, this question was successfully answered recently by the authors for a spatially flat FRW model in the canonical approach. In this manuscript, we obtain a covariant generalization of this result. Our analysis is based on expressing loop quantum cosmology in the spin foam paradigm and using histories defined via volume transitions to compute the amplitudes of transitions obtained using a vertex expansion. We show that the probability for bounce turns out to be unity.
