Motivations for Conformal Invariant Gravity

  • 1. Mainly quantum-theoretical: opportunity for a renormalizable theory with

preservation of causality and locality [alternative for stringtheory?] note:

  • 2. Formalism for disclosing the small-distance structure in GR

Note consider: local exact CI, spontaneously broken just as the Higgs mechanism

  • 3. CI can be used for and information paradox

[ related to holography [โ€žt Hooft 1993, 2009]

  • 4. Alternative to dark energy/matter issue [Mannheim, 2017];

Construct traceless ๐‘ˆ

๐œˆ๐œ‰ [needed for CI: particles massless] and use

spontaneous symmetry breaking!

  • 5. Explore issues such as โ€œtrans-Planckianโ€ modes in Hawking radiation calculation and the

nature of โ€œentanglement entropyโ€ Example: warped 5D model: dilaton from 5D Einstein eq [Slagter, 2016] โ€œformulating GR as a gauge group was not fruitfulโ€, so โ€œaddโ€ CI to gauge โ€œthere seems to be no limit on the smallness of fundamental units in one particular domain of physics, while in others there are very large scales and time scaleโ€ โ€œblack hole complementarityโ€

Some results of Conformal Invariance

โ–บ CI in GR should be a spontaneously broken exact symmetry, just as the Higgs mechanism โ–บ One splits the metric: ๐’‰ ๐‚๐ƒ the โ€œunphys. metricโ€ โ–บ CI is well define on Minkowski: null-cone structure is preserved. โ–บ If ๐‘• ๐œˆ๐œ‰ is (Ricci?) flat: ๐œ• is unique (QFT is done on flat background!) โ–บ If ๐‘• ๐œˆ๐œ‰ is non-flat: additional gauge freedom: ๐’‰ โ†’ ๐œต๐Ÿ‘๐’‰ , ๐ โ†’ ๐Ÿ

[no further dependency on โ„ฆ, ฯ‰] SO: can we generate ๐’‰ ๐‚๐ƒ = ๐›๐Ÿ‘๐œฝ๐‚๐ƒ? I will present 2 examples (see next) โ–บ conjecture: avoiding anomalies we generate constraints which will determine the physical constants such as the cosmological constant โ–บConsider conformal component of metric as a dilaton (ฯ‰)with only renormalizable interactions. โ–บ Small distance behavior (ฯ‰โ†’0) regular behavior by imposing constraints on model โ–บ Spontaneously breaking: fixes all parameters (mass, cosm const,โ€ฆ) [โ€žt Hooft, 2015] ๐’‰๐‚๐ƒ(๐’š) = ๐ ๐’š ๐Ÿ‘๐’‰ ๐‚๐ƒ(๐’š) treat ๐ and scalar fields on equal footing!

Some results of Conformal Invariance

โ–บ Dilaton field ๐œ• need to be shifted to complex contour (Wick rotation) to ensure that ๐œ• has the same unitary and positivity properties as the scalar field. [for our 5D model: ๐œ• has complex solutions! ] โ–บ In canonical gravity: quantum amplitudes are obtained by integration

  • f the action over all components of ๐’‰๐‚๐ƒ.

Now: first over ๐; and then over ๐’‰ ๐‚๐ƒ ; then: constraints on ๐’‰ ๐‚๐ƒ and matter fields [๐‘• ๐œˆ๐œ‰still inv. under local conv. trans. ] S gauge fixing constraints. โ–บVacuum state would have normally R=0; now: ๐‘บ โ†’ ๐‘บ

so the vacuum breaks local CI spontaneously Nature is not scale invariant, so the vacuum transforms into another unknown state. โ–บConjecture: conformal anomalies must be demanded to cancel out โ†’ all renormalization group ฮฒ-coeff must vanish โ†’ constraints to adjust all physical constants! โ–บUltimate goal: all parameters of the model computable ( including masses and ฮ› ) ๐‘’5๐‘‹ ๐‘’4๐œ• ๐‘’๐‘• ๐œˆ๐œ‰ โ€ฆ . . ๐‘“๐‘—๐‘‡

Severe problems of GR

Major problems: 1. Hiarchy-problem ( why is gravity so weak?)

  • 2. What is dark-energy (needed for accelerated universe) ฮ› needed??
  • 3. Then: huge discrepancy between ๐‡๐šณ~๐Ÿ๐Ÿโˆ’๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ and ๐‡๐’˜๐’ƒ๐’….~๐Ÿ๐Ÿโˆ’๐Ÿ’

  • 5. The black hole war: Hawking--โ€˜t Hooft

Desperately needed: quantum-gravity model

  • 6. Do we need higher-dimensional worlds?

[are we a โ€œhologramโ€ ] NOW: 7. How do we make gravity conformal (scale-) invariant? โ–  alternative for disclosing the small-distance structure of GR โ–  No dark energy (matter?) necessary [Mannheim, โ€˜t Hooft] โ–  CI a local symm, spontaneously broken in the EH-action[as the BEH] ?

Some history of QFT

Calculations in QFT: โ–  In perturbation theory the effect of interactions is expressed in a powerserie of the coupling constant ( <<1 !) โ–  Regularization scheme necessary in order to deal with divergent integrals over internal 4- momenta. โ–  Introduce cut-off energy/mass scale ฮ› and stop integration there. [however, invisible in physical constants and partcle data tables] So renormalization comes in โ–  Covariant theory of gravitation cannot be renormalized [in powercounting sense ] Non-renormalizable interactions is suppressed at low energy, but grows with

  • energy. At energies much smaller than this โ€œcatastrophe-scaleโ€, we have an

effective field theory. Standard model is too an effective field theory. โ–  In curved background: geometry of spacetime remaims in first instance non-dynamical! However: in GRT it is. String theory solution? โ–  Nambu-Goto action (Polyakov) ๐‘ฉ = โˆ’๐‘ผ ๐’†๐Ÿ‘๐‰ โˆ’๐’‰๐’‰๐œท๐œธ๐’Š โˆ— ๐œฝ๐œท๐œธ

๐›ฝ ๐›ฝ depends on โ„ฆ, unless a crucial number in 2d-CFT

๐›ฝ ๐›ฝ = 0 ]

The Fadeev-Popov ghost field ( needed for quantisation) contribute a central charge

  • f -26, which can be canceled by 26-dimensional background.

Can we do better? New conformal field theory Suppose: QFT is correct and GRT holds at least to the Planck scale โ–  Advantages of CI:

  • A. At high energy, the rest mass of partcles have negligible effects

So no explicit mass scale. CI would solve this

  • B. CI field theory renormalizable [ coupling constants are dimensionless]
  • C. CI In curved spacetime: would solve the black hole complementarity

through conformal transformations between infalling and stationary observers.

  • D. Could be singular-free
  • E. Success in CFT/ADS correspondence
  • F. In standart model, symmetry methods also successful.
  • G. CI put constraints on GRT . Very welcome!

โ–บ If spacetime is fundamental discrete: then continuum symmetries ( such as L.I.) are imperilled. To make it compatible: the price is locality. [ Dowker, 2012; โ€žt Hooft, 2016] Can non-locality be tamed far enough to allow known local physics to emerge at large distances? โ–บ The Causal Set approach to quantum gravity: atomic spacetime in which the fundamental degrees of freedom are discrete order relations. [โ€™tHooft, Myrheim, Bombelli, Lee, Myer and Sorkin] โ–บ The causal set approach claims that certain aspects of General Relativity and quantum theory will have direct counterparts in quantum gravity:

  • 1. the spacetime causal order from General Relativity,
  • 2. the path integral from quantum theory.

Then: Is it possible to obtain our familiar physical laws described by PDEโ€™s from discrete diff operators on causal sets? For example, discrete operators that approximate the scalar Dโ€™Alembertian in any spacetime dimension? Seems to be yes! โ–บฯ‰ is fixed when we specify our global spacetime and coordinate system, which is associated with the vacuum state. [remember ๐‘บ โ†’

๐‘บ ๐œต๐Ÿ‘ โˆ’ ๐Ÿ• ๐œต๐Ÿ’ ๐œถ๐‚๐œถ๐‚๐œต ] If we not specify this state, then no specified ฯ‰.

โ€žt Hooft: โ€œ In quantum field theory we work on a flat background. Then ฯ‰ is unique On non-flat background: sizes and time stretches and become ambiguousโ€

  • A. Bondi-Marder spacetime [ suitable for our scalar-gauge model]
  • I. With the contribution from projected Weyl tensor [Slagter ,ArXiv:gr-qc/171108193]

  • B. Spinning Cosmic String [Bonner: โ€œurgent need convincing phys interp of CTCโ€™s ..โ€ ]

Stationary axially symmetric solutions: Kerr solution. CTCโ€™s hidden behind the horizon Where are the others? Weyl, Parapetrou, van Stockum, ..... All are physically unacceptable: not the correct asymptotic behavior CTCโ€™s are possible matching problems at the boundary However: cosmic string solution in GR : could be physically acceptable . Now: spinning cosmic strings: Some additional fields are necessary to compensate the energy failure close to the core. THEN: How do we solve the CTC problem and matching problem??

Summary

  • A. Warpfactor W reinterpreted as dilaton ฯ‰ from vacuum 5D Einstein equations of ๐‘4 โŠ— ๐‘†
  • B. Warpfactor [exact solution] has dual meaning in CI GR model:

ฯ‰โ†’ ๐Ÿ: dilaton describes the small distance limit Now: ฯ‰ is also scale factor, determines the dynamical evolution of universe.

  • C. By considering dilaton and scalar field on equal footing: no singular behavior as ฯ‰โ†’ ๐Ÿ
  • D. CI is broken ( trace-anomaly) by mass terms in EH action.

However: in warped 5D model: contribution from quadratic terms in ๐‘ผ๐‚๐ƒ SO: extra constraints in order to maintain tracelessness.

  • E. Examples:

โ–บOn Bondi Marder ST ( axially symmetric) curvature generation from Ricci-flat ST. using additional gauge freedom: ๐’‰๐‚๐ƒ โ†’ ๐œต๐Ÿ‘๐’‰๐‚๐ƒ ; ๐ โ†’

๐Ÿ ๐œต ๐ ; ๐œฒ โ†’ ๐Ÿ ๐œต ๐œฒ

Necessary as a conformal gauge in order to make a renormalizable model. โ–บSpinning (global) cosmic strings: asymptotic correct interior matches on exterior no CTCโ€™s and WEC fulfilled New indication that local CI make sense
