Towards phase transitions between discrete and continuum quantum spacetime from the renormalization group

Open access
Eichhorn, Astrid, Koslowski, Tim·2014·Physical Review D

Abstract

We establish the functional renormalization group as an exploratory tool to investigate a possible phase transition between a pregeometric discrete phase and a geometric continuum phase in quantum gravity. In this paper, based on the analysis of Eichhorn and Koslowski [Phys. Rev. D 88, 0840156 (2013)], we study three new aspects of the double-scaling limit of matrix models as renormalization group fixed points. First, we investigate multicritical fixed points, which are associated with quantum gravity coupled to conformal matter. Second, we discuss an approximation that reduces the scheme dependence of our results as well as computational effort while giving good numerical results. This is a consequence of the approximation being a solution to the unitary Ward identity associated to the U(N) symmetry of the Hermitian matrix model. Third, we discuss a scenario that relates the double-scaling limit to fixed points of continuum quantum gravity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
