2+1维量子引力

Quantum Gravity in 2+1 Dimensions

S. Carlip

AI总结:

本文综述2+1维时空下广义相对论解模空间的经典描述与多种量子引力方法,探讨该低维理想试验台对四维现实量子引力研究的参考意义。

摘要:

广义相对论在三维时空下会大幅简化:所有真空解都具有常曲率,且解的模空间几乎可以被完全表征。因此,这一低维场景成为了多种量子引力研究方法的理想试验台,涵盖约化相空间量子化、协变正则量子化、路径积分方法,以及“边缘态”的渐变量子化等方向。本文综述了解的模空间的多种经典描述,以及广泛的量子化方案,并特别关注其对四维时空中现实量子引力研究的启示。

英文摘要:

General relativity becomes vastly simpler in three spacetime dimensions: all vacuum solutions have constant curvature, and the moduli space of solutions can be almost completely characterized. As a result, this lower dimensional setting becomes an ideal test bed for a wide range of approaches to quantum gravity, from reduced phase phase space quantization to covariant canonical quantization to path integral methods to asymptotic quantization of "edge states." Here I review a variety of classical descriptions of the moduli space of solutions and a broad range of quantizations, with special attention to implications for realistic quantum gravity in four spacetime dimensions.
