Theory Of Gravitation

We analyze the R + R2 model of quantum gravity where terms quadratic in the curvature tensor are added to the General Relativity action. This model was recently proved to be a self-consistent quantum theory of gravitation, being both renormalizable and unitary. The model can be made practically indistinguishable from General Relativity at astrophysical and cosmological scales by the proper choice of parameters.

Theory Of Gravitation

We consider relativistic quantum gravity with the action including terms quadratic in the curvature tensor. This model is known to be renormalizable. We demonstrate that the model is also unitary. New expressions for the corresponding Lagrangian and the graviton propagator within dimensional regularization are derived. We argue that the considered model is the proper candidate for the fundamental quantum theory of gravitation.

The search for a quantum theory of gravitation is considered one of the most important problems in theoretical physics. Might black holes provide a key? Researchers are beginning to think that the emergence of a true black hole astronomy based on the measurement of gravitational waves and radio interferometry could bring quantum gravity into the field of experimental or observational science.

Theory Of Gravitation

Relativistic quantum gravity with the action including terms quadratic in the curvature tensor is analyzed. We derive new expressions for the corresponding Lagrangian and the graviton propagator within dimensional regularization. We argue that the considered model is a good candidate for the fundamental quantum theory of gravitation.
