因果结构中量子涨落的角谱

Angular spectrum of quantum fluctuations in causal structure

Craig Hogan, Ohkyung Kwon, Nathaniel Selub

AI总结:

本文通过标度论证推导出因果钻石边界上由普朗克尺度量子涨落引起的畸变角功率谱,得到高角波数下$C_\ell\sim(R\\:\\!l_P)/\ell^3$的普适标度,并与holographic noise关系模型一致,同时指出其他量子模型因角波数幂次不同会预测过度的图像模糊。

摘要:

本文使用标度论证来约束宏观因果钻石边界上畸变的角谱,这些畸变由因果相干的量子引力的普朗克尺度真空涨落产生。位移的小角度谱源自一种标度不变性形式:半径为$R$的因果钻石表面法向畸变的方差和涨落率,在横向物理间隔$cτ\ll R$处应只依赖于$τ$,其归一化由普朗克时间$t_P$设定,而不应依赖于$R$。对于尺度$R$上的测量,该原理导致角尺度$Θ$上方差的普适标度,$\langleδτ^2\rangle_Θ\simeqτ\\:\\!t_p\simΘR\\:\\!t_P/c$,以及角功率谱$C_\ell\sim (R\\:\\!l_P)/\ell^3$(在$\ell\gg1$时)。该谱与基于因果相干虚零引力激波的 holographic noise 关系模型一致,这是一个对所有$\ell$都推测成立的普遍图像。高$\ell$标度与一些其他量子模型中预测的标度形成对比,后者在角波数$\ell$的幂次上相差一次,并被证明会预测来自遥远源的图像产生过度的模糊。

英文摘要:

Scaling arguments are used to constrain the angular spectrum of distortions on boundaries of macroscopic causal diamonds, produced by Planck-scale vacuum fluctuations of causally-coherent quantum gravity. The small-angle spectrum of displacement is derived from a form of scale invariance: the variance and fluctuation rate of distortions normal to the surface of a causal diamond of radius $R$ at transverse physical separation $cτ\ll R$ should depend only on $τ$, with a normalization set by the Planck time $t_P$, and should not depend on $R$. For measurements on scale $R$, the principle leads to universal scaling for variance on angular scale $Θ$, $\langleδτ^2\rangle_Θ\simeqτ\:\!t_p\simΘR\:\!t_P/c$, and angular power spectrum $C_\ell\sim (R\:\!l_P)/\ell^3$ at $\ell\gg1$. This spectrum is consistent with a relational model of holographic noise based on causally coherent virtual null gravitational shocks, a general picture conjectured for all $\ell$. The high $\ell$ scaling is contrasted with that predicted in some other quantum models, which differ by one power of angular wavenumber $\ell$ and are shown to predict excessive blurring of images from distant sources.
