论文摘要
一般相对性及其宇宙学解决方案预测了在我们的Friedman-Lema-Robertson-Walker扩展宇宙之上的扰动模式的存在。它们是不变的,不一定与其他量子源耦合,可以看作是代表纯重力。明确地表明他们确实要进行量化将为重力的量子性质提供毫无疑问的证据。这篇综述将介绍可能导致这一结论的各种理论问题。
General relativity and its cosmological solution predicts the existence of tensor modes of perturbations evolving on top of our Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker expanding Universe. Being gauge invariant and not necessarily coupled to other quantum sources, they can be seen as representing pure gravity. Unambiguously showing they are indeed to be quantised would thus provide an unquestionable proof of the quantum nature of gravitation. This review will present a summary of the various theoretical issues that could lead to this conclusion.
