1 Emergent symmetries in the Canonical Tensor Model Naoki Sasakura Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University Based on collaborations with Dennis Obster arxiv: and a paper coming soon Discrete Approaches to the Dynamics of Fields and Space-Time September 19-23, 2017 APCTP, Pohang, Korea
2 Contents (My part) 1. Introduction Tensor model Canonical Tensor Model (CTM) 2. Formalism of CTM 3. A wave function The latter (main) part will be done by Dennis.
3 1. Introduction Discrete model of quantum gravity An approach to QG Spacetime (and other fundamental degrees of freedom) are described by discrete variables. The most successful case 2 dim. Dual Random surface Triangulated surfaces Matrix model Feynman diagrams
4 D>2 dim. Random volume Dynamical triangulation Dual Tensor models Original models 91 Ambjorn et al, NS, Gross et al Colored tensor model 09 Gurau
5 However, these Euclidean gravity discrete models in D>2 suffer from generation of singular spaces. Branched polymer phase or Crumpled phase No emergence of macroscopic spaces cf. But, recently, relation to SYK model was pointed out (Witten 16). Related to gravity by holography? This is still an open problem.
6 On the other hand, Causal dynamical triangulation Dynamical triangulation with time direction Emergence of macroscopic spacetime in 3+1 dim (and 2+1) Time is important! Seems essential for emergence of macroscopic spacetime. J. Ambjorn, J. Jurkiewicz, R. Loll, Phys.Rev.Lett. 93 (2004)
7 Proposal of Canonical Tensor Model (CTM) NS, Int.J.Mod.Phys. A27 (2012) Motivation : Formulate a tensor model with time Strategy: Use canonical formalism Time must be a gauge direction (not a physical observable) Hamiltonian is a constraint (first-class) H = N a H a + N ab J ab {H, H} J {J, H} H H, J : First-class constraints (Poisson algebra of constraints is closed) {J, J} J N a,n ab: Non-dynamical multipliers Very similar structure as ADM formalism of GR
8 ADM formalism of GR Z H ADM = d D x N(x)H(x)+N i (x)j i (x) {H, H} J {J, H} H {J, J} J First class H(x) J i (x) N(x) N i (x) : Hamiltonian constraint : Momentum constraint (Spatial diffeo) : Lapse : Shift Guarantees mutual consistencies of locally defined time-evolutions t General covariance
9 CTM is unique under some reasonable assumptions. (Details later) NS,Int.J.Mod.Phys. A27 (2012) So, we just need to study one such model. If CTM does not work at some point, then it should be discarded right away. Very nice. Life is short.
10 Classical properties of CTM work very nicely so far. N=1 classical CTM = Mini-superspace treatment of GR (FRW) NS, Y.Sato, Phys.Lett. B732 (2014) Classical CTM in a formal continuum limit GR system Constraint algebra Algebra of ADM constraints Hypersurface deformation algebra (Spacetime diffeomorphism symmetry) EOM GR+scalar+higher spins in Hamil.-Jacobi formalism S = Z d D+1 x p g NS, Y.Sato, JHEP 1510 (2015) 109 2R 1 q 2 (@ 6 D )2 8(D 1) e + H.Chen, NS, Y.Sato, Phys.Rev. D95 (2017) no.6,
11 A formal continuum limit Continuous indices P abc! P xyz x, y, z 2 R D Implicitly N Locality P xyz 6=0 only at x y z More specifically, a derivative expansion is assumed. P xyz = (x) D (x y) D (x z) + µ (x)@ µ D (x y) D (x z)+ + µ (x)@ µ D (x y)@ D (x z)+ +
12 Formal continuum limit Presetting a macroscopic space with continuity and locality Classically, it can be regarded as a sort of an initial condition, and is therefore a consistent treatment. Rather, we want to derive it as a peak of a wave function of quantum CTM. Emergence of macroscopic spaces. Ideally, (P ) 2 Macroscopic space P abc
13 Instead, in this talk, we will show A wave function of quantum CTM has the preference of Lie-group symmetric configurations. (P ) 2 P H 2 P H 1 P H 3 P H : Invariant configuration under Lie group H P abc Encouraging, because Lie group symmetries determine global structures of spacetimes. Eg. translation, rotation, etc.
14 2. Formalism of CTM Dynamical variables NS, Int.J.Mod.Phys. A27 (2012) NS, Int.J.Mod.Phys. A27 (2012) A conjugate pair of real symmetric rank-3 tensors {Q abc,p def } = X a d b e c f a, b,... =1, 2,...,N Permutations {Q abc,q def } = {P abc,p def } =0 Rank-3, because The simplest. Try the simplest first! Higher tensors may be composites of rank-3. Rank-4,
15 Hamiltonian H = N a H a + N ab J ab Following the names in ADM. N a N ab : Lapse : Shift Non-dynamical multipliers H a J ab : Hamiltonian constraint : Momentum constraint First-class constraints J ab : so(n) generators Rotation of indices Analogous to spatial diffeomorphism
16 Constraints and Poisson algebra H a = 1 2 (P abcp bde Q cde Q abb ) J ab = J ba = 1 4 (Q acdp bcd Q bcd P acd ) =0, ±1 ( N =1= FRW = with ) Form a first-class constraint Poisson algebra (closed) {H( 1 ), H( 2 )} = J [ 1, 2 ]+2 1 ^ 2 {J ( ), H( )} = H( ) {J ( 1 ), J ( 2 )} = J [ 1, 2 ] so(n) Non-linearity exists similarly to ADM H( ) =H a a J ( ) =J ab ab ab = P abc c ( 1 ^ 2 ) ab = a b b a [, ] : Matrix commutator a, ab : c-auxiliary variables
17 Uniqueness NS,Int.J.Mod.Phys. A27 (2012) Assumptions for the proof of the uniqueness Dynamical variables : A conjugate pair of rank-3 real symmetric tensors SO(N) kinematical symmetry, J ab There is a constraint with one index H a H a is at most cubic. The constraints form a closed Poisson algebra (First-class) Time reversal symmetry Connected (Locality) P! P, Q! Q P P Q P P Q
18 Quantization NS, Int.J.Mod.Phys. A28 (2013) Straightforward by the canonical way Q abc,p abc! ˆQ abc, ˆP abc {, }! 1 i [, ] Ĥ a = 1 2 ˆPabc ˆPbde ˆQcde + i H ˆP abb ˆQabb ˆ J ab = 1 4 ˆQacd ˆPbcd ˆQbcd ˆPacd Normal ordering term H = 1 (N + 2)(N + 3) 2 Determined by hermiticity No anomalies! Quantum constraint algebra is the same as classical. In particular, it is closed Consistency guaranteed.
19 Physical states Ĥ a i = ˆ J ab i =0 Wave functions In P-rep, Q abc! id abc D abc P def = X a d b e c f A set of linear 1st order partial differential eqs. (P abc P bde D cde + H P abb D abb ) phys(p )=0 Analogue to Wheeler-DeWitt eq. (P acd D bcd P bcd D acd ) phys(p )=0 In Q-rep., a set of linear 2nd order partial differential eqs.
20 3. A wave function Looks very difficult to solve the equations. But, one can find an exact solution for general N, which looks very interesting. G.Narain, NS, Y.Sato, JHEP 1501 (2015) 010 phys(p )= (P ) H 2 Z (P )= d d e i (P R N+1 Normal ordering constant ) P 3 = P abc a b c 2 = a a d = NY a=1 d a Found by being inspired by an intimate connection between CTM and randomly connected tensor networks.
21 Cf. Connection between CTM and randomly connected tensor networks NS, Y.Sato, PTEP 2014 (2014) no.5, 053B03; PTEP 2015 (2015) no.4, 043B09 N=2 + yet to appear st order phase-trans. line Hamilton vector flow of CTM nd order phase-trans. point Looks very much like an RG flow. (Not yet proven)
22 Proof of the solution What is necessary is essentially the validity of the partial integration over. eg: The first term of P abc P bde D cde Z Partial integration =6i =2 Z Z C C C Ĥ a, d d e i (P ) d d P abc P bde c d e e i (P ) d d P abc = 2P abb (P ) 4i = b e ip 3 e i ( ) Z C d d P abc b c ei(p ) Contributions from the boundaries have been ignored. (Discussed shortly)
23 Convergence of the expression and regularization Conditionally convergent for generic special P abc P abc except for discussed later. The convergence is due to the infinitely fast oscillation of integrand at infinity. eg. Z x 2 +y 2 appler dxdy e i(x3 y 3 ) Well-known eg.: Airy function, Fresnel integral R We rather use ε-prescription with a similar role as R : Eg: (P )= lim!+0 Z R N+1 d d e i (P ) ( )
24 The ε-prescription The violation of the constraints Z d d c 1 P abc b c + c 2 a R N+1 0 for ε +0 e i (P ) 2 2 c 1,c 2 : Numerical constants because the integral converges. Numerical studies (later) also support the result. H a (P ) ~ 10-8 for N=2 ~ 10-2 for N=3
25 λ>0 is required for the physical sensibility of the wave function For λ=0 (P )= Z R N d e P 3 P N 3 f( P ) P abc! 0 is favored. Physically, nothing is favored. For λ<0 No critical (stationary) points exist, as shown later. No apparent peaks of the wave function For λ>0, various peaks and structures exist. λ=λ: Positive cosmological constant (N=1 CTM FRW)
26 Summary of my part Time is introduced to tensor model. Time is gauged : CTM ADM Classical CTM GR system in H-J formalism In a formal continuum limit presetting a macroscopic space Want to find the formal continuum limit as a peak of wave function (P )= Z R N+1 d d e i (P ) λ>0 required for the sensibility
