有效量子引力中的引力波

Gravitational Waves in Effective Quantum Gravity

Xavier Calmet, Iberê Kuntz, Sonali Mohapatra

摘要:

在这篇简短的论文中,我们使用有效场论技术研究量子引力对爱因斯坦方程的影响。我们考虑了波动方程的首阶量子引力修正。除了通常的无质量模外,我们还发现了一对具有复质量的模。这些大质量粒子具有宽度,因此如果在产生黑洞合并等引力波的剧烈天体物理过程中受到激发,可能导致引力波衰减。我们讨论的后果引力波事件,如GW 150914最近观察到的高级LIGO合作。

英文摘要:

In this short paper we investigate quantum gravitational effects on Einstein's equations using effective field theory techniques. We consider the leading order quantum gravitational correction to the wave equation. Besides the usual massless mode, we find a pair of modes with complex masses. These massive particles have a width and could thus lead to a damping of gravitational waves if excited in violent astrophysical processes producing gravitational waves such as e.g. black hole mergers. We discuss the consequences for gravitational wave events such as GW 150914 recently observed by the Advanced LIGO collaboration.
