时空泡沫弦论模型中的光速变化

Light Speed Variation in a String Theory Model for Space-Time Foam

Chengyi Li, Bo-Qiang Ma

摘要:

我们重新审视时空泡沫的超对称弦模型,其中玻色子开弦态(例如光子)可以在真空中具有量子引力诱导的速度涨落。我们认为,从伽马射线暴光子时间延迟的下限光速变化的建议,可以作为这个字符串启发框架的支持,通过连接的实验发现与模型预测。在此框架下,我们还导出了有效量子引力质量的值,并对模型相关系数进行了定性研究。来自双折射效应和/或光子衰变的约束,包括从最新的西藏AS $γ$近PeV光子中获得的新的$γ$ -衰变约束,也被发现与这样的量子引力方案中的预测一致。最后提出了进一步验证这一理论的观测建议。

英文摘要:

We revisit a supersymmetric string model for space-time foam, in which bosonic open-string states, such as photons, can possess quantum-gravity-induced velocity fluctuations in vacuum. We argue that the suggestion of light speed variation with lower bound from gamma-ray burst photon time delays can serve as a support for this string-inspired framework, through connecting the experimental finding with model predictions. We also derive the value of the effective quantum-gravity mass in this framework, and give a qualitative study on the model-dependent coefficients. Constraints from birefringent effects and/or photon decays, including the novel $γ$-decay constraint obtained here from the latest Tibet AS$γ$ near-PeV photon, are also found to be consistent with predictions in such a quantum-gravity scheme. Future observation that can testify further the theory is suggested.
