โœฆ Synopsis


In the functional integral formalism of quantum field theory a gauge breaking term is added to the classical action in order to parametrize the orbits of the gauge group. I n quantum gravity this gauge breakjng term fixes the orientation of the Riemannian metric with respect to a fixed reference metric. We explain the notion of gauge invariance this procedure is based on. A special gauge fixing term is considered, which together with the Einstein-Hilbert action leads to Rosen's bimetric theory with arbitrary background. Discussing some consequences of this gauging for quantum gravity, it is especially shown that there are some difficulties if back reaction is regarded.

Znr Eichfixierung in der Quantengravitation

Inhsltsubersicht. In der Funktionalintegral-Formulierung der Quantenfeldtheorie wird ein eichbrechender Term zur klassischen Wirkung hinzuaddiert, u m diedquivalenzklassen der Eichgruppe zu parametrisieren. In der Quantengravitation legt dieser eichfixierende Term die Orientierung der Riemannschen Metrik bez. einer bestimmten Referenzmetrik fest. Wir erliiutern den Begriff der Eichinvarianz, auf dem dieses Verfahren beruht. Am Beispiel eines speziellen eichbrechenden Terms, der gemeinsam mit der Einstein-Hilbert Wirkung auf Rosens bimetrrische Theorie mit beliebigem Hintergrund fiihrt, werden einige Konsequenzen fur die Quantengravitation diskutiert. Es wird inbesondere gezeigt, daB die Beriicksichtigung der Gravitationsselbstwechselwirkung zu Konsistenzechwierigkeiten dieses Formalismus fuhrt.

The paper proposes a general procedure to find the form of the gauge fixing term in the extended BRST quantization of the gauge theories, a difficult problem in the standard approach. Our proposal is based on the many level structure of the extended spaces and leads to a simple form of the gauge fix
