本文利用Barrett-Crane(BC)自旋泡沫模型计算了四维量子引力中时空的谱维数。我们意识到这一点,考虑一个非常简单的分解的4d时空已经使用的引力子传播计算,我们引入了一个边界状态,选择一个经典的几何边界。当探测标量场的能量从高E_P/25$到低E_P/25$时,时空的谱维数从约2$到约4 $,穿过约1.5$的相位。普朗克尺度下的光谱维数E约E_P取决于计算中使用的光谱面积。对于三个不同的谱l_P^2 sqrt{j(j+1)}$、l_P^2(2 j+1)$和l_P^2 j$,我们分别发现维数约为2.31$、2.45和2.08。
In this paper we perform the calculation of the spectral dimension of spacetime in 4d quantum gravity using the Barrett-Crane (BC) spinfoam model. We realize this considering a very simple decomposition of the 4d spacetime already used in the graviton propagator calculation and we introduce a boundary state which selects a classical geometry on the boundary. We obtain that the spectral dimension of the spacetime runs from $approx 2$ to 4, across a $approx 1.5$ phase, when the energy of a probe scalar field decreases from high $E lesssim E_P/25$ to low energy. The spectral dimension at the Planck scale $E approx E_P$ depends on the areas spectrum used in the calculation. For three different spectra $l_P^2 sqrt{j(j+1)}$, $l_P^2 (2 j+1)$ and $l_P^2 j$ we find respectively dimension $approx 2.31$, 2.45 and 2.08.
