The expressions for the corrected radius and the Hawking temperature of a Schwarzschild black hole are derived by calculating the total energy of a self-gravitating system of N fermions when the corrections to gravitational interaction due to post-Newtonian-like self-energy due to two graviton exchange- and one-loop contribution of quantum gravity effect are included. Since the particles are fermions, the exchange-correlation energy is also included consistently. It is found that though the three corrections are small, the correction due to the exchange-correlation is much more than the other two. The configuration of the many-particle system that we study is possible since it has no Buchdahl limit in the post-Newtonian approximation.
In this paper we consider the scalar sector of Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau theory in the framework of Epstein–Glaser causal method. We calculate the lowest order distributions for Compton scattering, vacuum polarization, self-energy and vertex corrections. By requiring gauge invariance of the theory we recover, in a natural way, the scalar propagator of the usual effective theory.
Over the last few years, Slavnov has proposed a formulation of quantum Yang–Mills theory in the Coulomb gauge which preserves simultaneously manifest Lorentz invariance and gauge invariance of the ghost field Lagrangian. This paper presents in detail some of the necessary calculations, i.e. those dealing with the functional integral for the S-matrix and its invariance under shifted gauge transformations. The extension of this formalism to quantum gravity in the Prentki gauge deserves consideration.
