The Quantum Modular Group in (2+1)-Dimensional Gravity
The role of the modular group in the holonomy representation of (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity is studied. This representation can be viewed as a “Heisenberg picture,” and for simple topologies, the transformation to the ADM “Schrödinger picture” may be found. For spacetimes with the spatial topology of a torus, this transformation and an explicit operator representation of the mapping class...
متن کاملNon-Perturbative Renormalization Group Flows in Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
Recently a block spin renormalization group approach was proposed for the dynamical triangulation formulation of two-dimensional quantum gravity. We use this approach to examine non-perturbatively a particular class of higher derivative actions for pure gravity. PACS numbers: 04.60.+n, 05.70.Jk, 11.10.Gh
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
We show equivalence between the standard weak coupling regime c > 25 of the the two-dimensional quantum gravity and regime h < 1/2 of the original geometric approach of Polyakov [1, 2], developed in [3, 4, 5]. 1 In this letter I shall demonstrate the equivalence of two approaches to the twodimensional quantum gravity. The first approach, called geometric, goes back to Polyakov’s original discov...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction in Quantum Gravity
The requirement that physical phenomena associated with gravitational collapse should be duly reconciled with the postulates of quantum mechanics implies that at a Planckian scale our world is not 3+1 dimensional. Rather, the observable degrees of freedom can best be described as if they were Boolean variables defined on a two-dimensional lattice, evolving with time. This observation, deduced f...
متن کاملQuantum group symmetry and particle scattering in (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity
Starting with the Chern-Simons formulation of (2+1)-dimensional gravity we show that the gravitational interactions deform the Poincaré symmetry of flat spacetime to a quantum group symmetry. The relevant quantum group is the quantum double of the universal cover of the (2+1)-dimensional Lorentz group, or Lorentz double for short. We construct the Hilbert space of two gravitating particles and ...
