将超空间和哈密顿约束分析相结合,研究了多度量重力中的鬼。我们首先重温对称重力,并解释为什么它没有鬼魂。然后,我们将我们的方法应用于三尺度重力,并澄清模型中何时包含鬼影。更准确地说,我们证明了三尺度重力一般包含一个幽灵。然而,如果我们切断一对度量的相互作用,三度量引力就会消失。我们进一步将哈密顿分析推广到一般多度量重力,并计算了各种模型中的鬼数。因此,我们发现具有环型相互作用的多度量引力永远不会成为无鬼的。
We study ghosts in multimetric gravity by combining the minisuperspace and the Hamiltonian constraint analysis. We first revisit bimetric gravity and explain why it is ghost-free. Then, we apply our method to trimetric gravity and clarify when the model contains a ghost. More precisely, we prove trimetric gravity generically contains a ghost. However, if we cut the interaction of a pair of metrics, trimetric gravity becomes ghost-free. We further extend the Hamiltonian analysis to general multimetric gravity and calculate the number of ghosts in various models. Thus, we find multimetric gravity with loop type interactions never becomes ghost-free.
