因果集上有界性的推断

Inference of Boundaries in Causal Sets

William J. Cunningham

摘要:

我们研究了$(1+1)$维Minkowski时空中因果集的外生几何。嵌入空间中边界的性质不仅可以用来度量观测量,而且可以通过离散化的Gibbons-Hawking-York边界项来补充配分函数中的离散作用量.我们定义了几种方法来表示因果集使用重叠的子集,然后允许我们区分空和非空的边界超曲面在嵌入空间。我们讨论算法来区分不同类型的区域,考虑当这些区别是可能的,然后将算法应用到几个时空区域。数值结果表明,类时边界的体积可以测量到$0.5\%$精度内的平坦边界和$10\%$精度内的高度弯曲的边界与$N=2^{14}$时空元素的中型因果集。

英文摘要:

We investigate the extrinsic geometry of causal sets in $(1+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The properties of boundaries in an embedding space can be used not only to measure observables, but also to supplement the discrete action in the partition function via discretized Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary terms. We define several ways to represent a causal set using overlapping subsets, which then allows us to distinguish between null and non-null bounding hypersurfaces in an embedding space. We discuss algorithms to differentiate between different types of regions, consider when these distinctions are possible, and then apply the algorithms to several spacetime regions. Numerical results indicate the volumes of timelike boundaries can be measured to within $0.5\%$ accuracy for flat boundaries and within $10\%$ accuracy for highly curved boundaries for medium-sized causal sets with $N=2^{14}$ spacetime elements.
