作为曲率的回路导数

The loop derivative as a curvature

M. Reiris, P. Spallanzani

摘要:

最近,一套工具已经开发出来的目的是研究量子引力。到目前为止,很少有人尝试将这些工具放入严格的数学框架中。例如,所谓的流形路径丛就是这种情况。众所周知,这个拓扑主丛对于重构主丛及其联络起着万有丛的作用。路径丛是典型地赋予了一个平行运输和与它相关的重要类型的衍生物已被认为是由几个作者:曼德尔维衍生物,连接衍生物和循环衍生物。在本文中,我们将给出一个统一的观点,所有这些衍生物,通过开发一个可微演算的路径丛。特别地,我们将证明,圈导数是一个正则定义的一种形式的曲率,我们将称之为万有联络一种形式。

英文摘要:

Recently, a set of tools has been developed with the purpose of the study of Quantum Gravity. Until now, there have been very few attempts to put these tools into a rigorous mathematical framework. This is the case, for example, of the so called path bundle of a manifold. It is well known that this topological principal bundle plays the role of a universal bundle for the reconstruction of principal bundles and their connections. The path bundle is canonically endowed with a parallel transport and associated with it important types of derivatives have been considered by several authors: the Mandelstam derivative, the connection derivative and the Loop derivative. In the present article we shall give a unified viewpoint for all these derivatives by developing a differentiable calculus on the path bundle. In particular we shall show that the loop derivative is the curvature of a canonically defined one form that we shall called the universal connection one form.
