Renormalizable and Unitary Lorentz Invariant Model of Quantum Gravity

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.

Black Holes and Quantum Gravity

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.

Higher-derivative relativistic quantum gravity

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.

Fourth-derivative relativistic quantum gravity

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.

Quantum Theory of Gravitation

In the paper, the outline of a new quantum theory of gravitation is presented. The energetic states of a material body, stable and unstable, are described. Characteristics of a body motion in a gravitation-inertia space-time has been given. It has been proved that all the time both gravitation and inertia are co-existent, independent on the position of a moving object. This is the reason of that two-link name of the space-time. A thorough in-depth analysis of the problem made it possible to state that so called the law of common gravity is a hyperbolic approximation of a proper course of inertia force. Therefore the mentioned courses have only two common points. One of them, the initial point belongs also to the course line of the gravity force, constant on the whole length of space-time. This theory is adequate in character and thus generally does not corresponds with the existent classical theory of gravitation.
