Physical states in the canonical tensor model from the perspective of random tensor networks

Gerald Lawson et al.Oct 10, 2014
Tensor models, generalization of matrix models, are studied aiming forquantum gravity in dimensions larger than two. Among them, the canonical tensormodel is formulated as a totally constrained system with first-classconstraints, the algebra of which resembles the Dirac algebra of generalrelativity. When quantized, the physical states are defined to be vanished bythe quantized constraints. In explicit representations, the constraintequations are a set of partial differential equations for the physicalwave-functions, which do not seem straightforward to be solved due to theirnon-linear character. In this paper, after providing some explicit solutionsfor $N=2,3$, we show that certain scale-free integration of partition functionsof statistical systems on random networks (or random tensor networks moregenerally) provides a series of solutions for general $N$. Then, bygeneralizing this form, we also obtain various solutions for general $N$.Moreover, we show that the solutions for the cases with a cosmological constantcan be obtained from those with no cosmological constant for increased $N$.This would imply the interesting possibility that a cosmological constant canalways be absorbed into the dynamics and is not an input parameter in thecanonical tensor model. We also observe the possibility of symmetry enhancementin $N=3$, and comment on an extension of Airy function related to thesolutions.
