摘要:

量子引力的单纯形方法(如量子Regge calculus和自旋泡沫)包含这样的构型:体边可以变得任意大,而边界边保持很小。尖峰和脊刺就是这类构型的典型例子。它们对期望的连续极限构成了重大挑战,因为在连续极限中,边的平均长度应当变得非常小。本文研究四维洛伦兹量子Regge calculus中的尖峰和脊刺构型。我们发现体边长度的任意幂的期望值都是有限的。为此,我们探索了Regge振幅的新型渐近区域,其中一些边远大于其余边。在这些渐近区域中,振幅显著简化,所得表达式的几何解释涉及维度约化,这可能对全息原理有应用。

英文摘要:

Simplicial approaches to quantum gravity such as quantum Regge calculus and spin foams include configurations where bulk edges can become arbitrarily large while the boundary edges are kept small. Spikes and spines are prime examples for such configurations. They pose a significant challenge for a desired continuum limit, for which the average lengths of edges ought to become very small. Here we investigate spike and spine configurations in four-dimensional Lorentzian quantum Regge calculus. We find that the expectation values of arbitrary powers of the bulk length are finite. To that end, we explore new types of asymptotic regimes for the Regge amplitudes, in which some of the edges are much larger than the remaining ones. The amplitudes simplify considerably in such asymptotic regimes and the geometric interpretation of the resulting expressions involves a dimensional reduction, which might have applications to holography.
