Four Dimensional Quantum Topology Changes of Spacetimes
We investigate topology changing processes in the WKB approximation of four dimensional quantum cosmology with a negative cosmological constant. As Riemannian manifolds which describe quantum tunnelings of spacetime we consider constant negative curvature solutions of the Einstein equation i.e. hyperbolic geometries. Using four dimensional polytopes, we can explicitly construct hyperbolic manif...
متن کاملTopology Changes in ( 2 + 1 ) - Dimensional Quantum
February 3, 1998 Topology Changes in (2+1)-Dimensional Quantum Gravity Yoshihisa FUJIWARA, Saburo HIGUCHI1 , Akio HOSOYA2 , Takashi MISHIMA3 and Masaru SIINO Department of Physics, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Oh-Okayama Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152, Japan ABSTRACT We study topology changing processes in (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant. By playing the `gluing-man...
متن کاملQuantum Inequalities in Curved Two Dimensional Spacetimes
In quantum field theory there exist states for which the energy density is negative. It is important that these negative energy densities satisfy constraints, such as quantum inequalities, to minimize possible violations of causality, the second law of thermodynamics, and cosmic censorship. In this paper I show that conformally invariant scalar and Dirac fields satisfy quantum inequalities in t...
متن کاملQuantum Stability of (2+1)-Spacetimes with Non-Trivial Topology
Quantum fields are investigated in the (2+1)-open-universes with non-trivial topologies by the method of images. The universes are locally de Sitter spacetime and anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the present article we study spacetimes whose spatial topologies are a torus with a cusp and a sphere with three cusps as a step toward the more general case. A quantum energy momentum tensor is obtained b...
متن کاملFour-dimensional CDT with toroidal topology
3 + 1 dimensional Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) describe a quantum theory of fluctuating geometries without the introduction of a background geometry. If the topology of space is constrained to be that of a three-dimensional torus we show that the system will fluctuate around a dynamically formed background geometry which can be understood from a simple minisuperspace action which conta...
