Katsuki Aoki, Andrea Cristofoli

AI总结:

本文研究宇宙学经典可观测量与量子散射振幅经典极限的关系,通过分析FRW背景中厄米算符在入区和出区的差异,解决了红移无法由平坦空间在壳振幅解释的难题,并给出脉冲FRW中引力波形的闭合公式。

摘要:

我们研究了宇宙学中的经典可观测量与量子散射振幅的经典极限之间的关系。我们首先考察Bogoliubov变换与经典极限概念之间的关系。然后,我们从量子场论基础及其经典极限出发,计算了宇宙学背景中粒子的宇宙学红移以及发射的引力波形。我们观察到,对于测地线红移,无法纯粹用平坦空间中的在壳振幅来解释,因为在考虑具有两个渐近平坦入区和出区的FRW背景时,标量2点函数的经典极限为零。我们解决了这一明显的难题,并通过证明厄米算符在入区和出区的作用不同(不同于平坦时空中的标准方法)恢复了正确的可观测量。随后我们表明,对红移的辐射反作用修正已经在$G$阶进入。此外,我们证明了发射的波形可以仅用平坦空间中无能量守恒的在壳3点振幅来表示,从而为脉冲FRW中的波形提供了一个闭合公式。

英文摘要:

We investigate the relationships between classical observables in cosmology and the classical limit of quantum scattering amplitudes. We first look at the relation between Bogoliubov transformations and the notion of classical limit. Then, we compute the cosmological redshift for a particle in a cosmological background and the emitted gravitational waveform from a quantum field theory basis and its classical limit. We observe that there is no interpretation for the geodesic redshift purely in terms of on-shell amplitudes in flat space, given that the classical limit of a scalar 2-point vanishes when considering an FRW background with two asymptotically flat in and out regions. We resolve this apparent conundrum and recover the correct observable by showing that the action of Hermitian operators differ between the in and out regions, unlike standard approaches in flat spacetime. We then show that radiation reaction corrections to the redshift enter already at order $G$. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the emitted waveform can be represented solely in terms of an on-shell 3-point amplitude in flat space without energy conservation, providing a closed formula for the waveform in an impulsive FRW.
