Michèle Levi

摘要:

[摘要]这篇综述文章介绍了自有效场论(EFT)引入后牛顿(PN)引力以来,在过去十年中所取得的进展。这些都是在致密双星螺旋内的引力波(GW)的背景下提出的。这个跨学科领域的成熟发展导致了物理学在几个层次上为各种目的服务的广泛兴趣的重大进展。该领域已经坚定地证明,看似不同的物理领域,如量子场论和经典引力,是相关的,并且EFT框架是一个通用的框架,它已被证明提供了一个强大的方法来推动PN理论的发展。该评论的对象是广泛的读者,从一般读者新的领域,专家和专家在相关的主题。回顾开始的EFTs引入经典引力和他们的发展的概述。然后,基本思想,形成的概念基础的EFT,提供,并概述了一个多阶段的EFT框架,这是用于PN二进制螺旋问题的战略。审查的主体,然后致力于详细介绍研究的每个有效的理论在每个中间尺度的问题,到实际的GW观测。该审查的结论是在该领域的进展的基础上,并使用进一步的现代场论的见解和工具,以专门解决GW的研究,以及广泛地扩大我们的基本理解规范和引力理论的经典和量子制度的多个前景。

英文摘要:

[Abridged] This review article presents the progress made over the last decade, since the introduction of effective field theories (EFTs) into post-Newtonian (PN) gravity. These have been put forward in the context of gravitational waves (GWs) from the compact binary inspiral. The mature development of this interdisciplinary field has resulted in significant advances of wide interest to physics at several levels serving various purposes. The field has firmly demonstrated, that seemingly disparate physical domains, such as quantum field theory and classical gravity, are related, and that the EFT framework is a universal one, where it has been proven to supply a robust methodology to boost progress in the development of PN theory. The review is aimed at a broad audience, from general readers new to the field, to specialists and experts in related subjects. The review begins with an overview of the introduction of EFTs into classical gravity and their development. Then, the basic ideas, which form the conceptual foundation of EFTs, are provided, and the strategy of a multi-stage EFT framework, which is utilized for the PN binary inspiral problem, is outlined. The main body of the review is then dedicated to presenting in detail the study of each of the effective theories at each of the intermediate scales in the problem, up to the actual GW observables. The review is concluded with the multiple prospects of building on the progress in the field, and using further modern field theory insights and tools, to specifically address the study of GWs, as well as to broadly expand our fundamental understanding of gauge and gravity theories across the classical and quantum regimes.
