Normal Modes and No Zero Mode Theorem of Scalar Fields in BTZ Black Hole Spacetime

Eigenfunctions for normal modes of scalar fields in BTZ black hole spacetime are studied. Orthonormal relations among them are derived. Quantization for scalar fields is done and particle number, energy and angular momentum are expressed by the creation and annihilation operators. Allowed physical normal mode region is studied on the basis of the no zero mode theorem. Its implication to the statistical mechanics is also studied.Comment: 11 pages,v2 typos correcte

Canonical Theory of 2+1 Gravity

Recently 2+1 dimensional gravity theory, especially ${\rm AdS_3}$ has been studied extensively. It was shown to be equivalent to the 2+1 Chern-Simon theory and has been investigated to understand the black hole thermodynamics, i.e. Hawking temperature and others. The purpose of this report is to investigate the canonical formalism of the original 2+1 Einstein gravity theory instead of the Chern-Simon theory. For the spherically symmetric space-time, local conserved quantities(local mass and angular momentum) are introduced and using them canonical quantum theory is defined. Constraints are imposed on state vectors and solved analytically. The strategy to obtain the solution is followed by our previous work.Comment: 6 pages, talk given at LLWI-2000: From Particles to Universe, Alberta, 20-26 February 200

de Broglie-Bohm Interpretatin for Analytic Solutions of The Wheeler-DeWitt Equation in Spherically Symmetric Space-time

We discuss the implications of a wave function for quantum gravity, which involves nothing but 3-dimensional geometries as arguments and is invariant under general coordinate transformations. We derive an analytic wave function from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for spherically symmetric space-time with the coordinate system arbitrary. The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics is applied to the wave function. In this interpretation, deterministic dynamics can be yielded from a wave function in fully quantum regions as well as in semiclassical ones. By introducing a coordinate system additionally, we obtain a cosmological black hole picture in compensation for the loss of general covariance. Our analysis shows that the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation gives quantum gravity an appropriate prescription to introduce coordinate systems naturally and extract information from a wave function as a result of breaking general covariance.Comment: 14 pages, REVTeX; abstract and content revise

Rotation Curves of Spiral Galaxies and Large Scale Structure of Universe under Generalized Einstein Action

We consider an addition of the term which is a square of the scalar curvature to the Einstein-Hilbert action. Under this generalized action, we attempt to explain i) the flat rotation curves observed in spiral galaxies, which is usually attributed to the existence of dark matter, and ii) the contradicting observations of uniform cosmic microwave background and non-uniform galaxy distributions against redshift. For the former, we attain the flatness of velocities, although the magnitudes remain about half of the observations. For the latter, we obtain a solution with oscillating Hubble parameter under uniform mass distributions. This solution leads to several peaks of galaxy number counts as a function of redshift with the first peak corresponding to the Great Wall.Comment: 16 page
