摘要:

我们调查的影响,空间拓扑结构在3+1维因果动力学三角剖分(CDT)进行数值模拟与环形空间拓扑结构,而不是以前使用的球形拓扑结构。在球形空间拓扑的情况下,我们在所谓的相C中观察到平均空间体积分布n(t),在适当的时间重新定义之后,可以将其识别为四球的空间体积分布。施加环形空间拓扑,我们发现,平均空间体积分布n(t)是常数。通过测量空间体积波动的协方差矩阵,我们确定了有效作用的形式。与球形情况相比,不同之处在于有效势已经改变,使得它允许恒定的平均值n(t)。这就是我们所观察到的,这也是人们所期望的一个小超空间GR作用量,其中只有比例因子保持为动力学变量。虽然没有背景几何是手工输入的,但CDT的完整量子理论也具有环形空间拓扑学,能够识别经典背景几何,在该背景几何周围存在定义良好的量子涨落。

英文摘要:

We investigate the impact of spatial topology in 3+1 dimensional causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) by performing numerical simulations with toroidal spatial topology instead of the previously used spherical topology. In the case of spherical spatial topology we observed in the so-called phase C an average spatial volume distribution n(t) which after a suitable time redefinition could be identified as the spatial volume distribution of the four-sphere. Imposing toroidal spatial topology we find that the average spatial volume distribution n(t) is constant. By measuring the covariance matrix of spatial volume fluctuations we determine the form of the effective action. The difference compared to the spherical case is that the effective potential has changed such that it allows a constant average n(t). This is what we observe and this is what one would expect from a minisuperspace GR action where only the scale factor is kept as dynamical variable. Although no background geometry is put in by hand, the full quantum theory of CDT is also with toroidal spatial toplogy able to identify a classical background geometry around which there are well defined quantum fluctuations.
