单纯量子引力

Simplicial Quantum Gravity

James B. Hartle

摘要:

单纯近似和与Regge演算有关的思想提供了实现量子引力的历史求和公式的具体方法。四维单形几何是由四个平面单形连接而成的。单形几何的和是单形连接的不同方式的和,并对它们的边长进行积分。本文说明了这种量子广义相对论方法中的单形欧几里得作用量的构造。讨论了复态群在连续极限中的恢复问题。一些可能的类的单纯复形与定义的总和拓扑进行了说明。

英文摘要:

Simplicial approximation and the ideas associated with the Regge calculus.provide a concrete way of implementing a sum over histories formulation ofquantum gravity. A four-dimensional simplicial geometry is made up of flat four-simplices joined together.A sum over simplicial geometries is a sum over thedifferent ways the simplices can be joined together with an integral over their edge lengths.Theconstruction of the simplicial Euclidean action for this approach to quantum general relativity is illustrated. The recovery of the diffeomorphism group in the continuum limit is discussed. Some possible classes of simplicial complexes with which to define a sum over topologies are described.
