量子引力的交替路径积分

An Alternate Path Integral for Quantum Gravity

Chethan Krishnan, K. V. Pavan Kumar, Avinash Raju

摘要:

我们定义了一个(半经典)路径积分的重力与诺依曼边界条件的$D$维,并展示了如何将这个新的配分函数通常的图片欧几里德量子引力。我们也将作用量写在ADM哈密顿公式中,并用它来再现黑洞和宇宙视界的熵。在平坦空间中半经典地计算该路径积分的(减去背景的)协变和Hamilton方法之间的比较再现了广义Smarr公式和第一定律。这种“诺依曼系综”的引力热力学观点与吉布斯-霍金的正则系综(Dirichlet)和布朗-约克的微正则方法平行。

英文摘要:

We define a (semi-classical) path integral for gravity with Neumann boundary conditions in $D$ dimensions, and show how to relate this new partition function to the usual picture of Euclidean quantum gravity. We also write down the action in ADM Hamiltonian formulation and use it to reproduce the entropy of black holes and cosmological horizons. A comparison between the (background-subtracted) covariant and Hamiltonian ways of semi-classically evaluating this path integral in flat space reproduces the generalized Smarr formula and the first law. This "Neumann ensemble" perspective on gravitational thermodynamics is parallel to the canonical (Dirichlet) ensemble of Gibbons-Hawking and the microcanonical approach of Brown-York.
