Título: | Dimensional flow in discrete quantum geometries |
Autor: | Calcagni, Gianluca CSIC ORCID ; Oriti Daniele; Thürigen, Johannes | Fecha de publicación: | 20-abr-2015 | Editor: | American Physical Society | Citación: | Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 91: 084047 (2015) | Resumen: | © 2015 American Physical Society. In various theories of quantum gravity, one observes a change in the spectral dimension from the topological spatial dimension d at large length scales to some smaller value at small, Planckian scales. While the origin of such a flow is well understood in continuum approaches, in theories built on discrete structures a firm control of the underlying mechanism is still missing. We shed some light on the issue by presenting a particular class of quantum geometries with a flow in the spectral dimension, given by superpositions of states defined on regular complexes. For particular superposition coefficients parametrized by a real number 0<α<d, we find that the spatial spectral dimension reduces to dS≃α at small scales. The spatial Hausdorff dimension of such class of states varies between 1 and d, while the walk dimension takes the usual value dW=2. Therefore, these quantum geometries may be considered as fractal only when α=1, where the >magic number> DS≃2 for the spectral dimension of spacetime, appearing so often in quantum gravity, is reproduced as well. These results apply, in particular, to special superpositions of spin-network states in loop quantum gravity, and they provide more solid indications of dimensional flow in this approach. | Descripción: | 11 pags.; 6 figs.; PACS numbers: 04.60.-m, 04.60.Pp | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.91.084047 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/128312 | DOI: | 10.1103/PhysRevD.91.084047 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1103/PhysRevD.91.084047 issn: 1550-2368 |
