EFTS or EVE
It has been most interesting to listen to the initial part of this conference, particularly references to the continuing viability of the check clearing system, and views as to the social cost, economic justification and impact on the public interest of electronic alternatives. It has made me most grateful to have a job whereby I can meet with the rest of the gods here on Mount Olympus to discu...
متن کاملHigher-derivative Quantum Cosmology
The quantum cosmology of a higher-derivative gravity theory arising from the heterotic string effective action is reviewed. A new type of Wheeler-DeWitt equation is obtained when the dilaton is coupled to the quadratic curvature terms. Techniques for solving the Wheeler-DeWitt equation with appropriate boundary conditions shall be described, and implications for semiclassical theories of inflat...
متن کاملGhost-free higher-derivative theory
We present an example of the quantum system with higher derivatives in the Lagrangian, which is ghost-free: the spectrum of the Hamiltonian is bounded from below and unitarity is preserved.
متن کاملStability of higher derivative modifications of Einstein - aether theory
A time-like unit vector field is used to generalize Einstein's gravity. The resulting theory, called the Einstein-aether theory, consists of a minimal coupling between an aether field and gravity. Inspired by the Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics, which is well-known for removing the singularity at the point charge, we generalized the Einstein-aether theory by adding such a higher order self-intera...
متن کاملHigher Derivative Gravitation in Superstrings
A discussion of the number of degrees of freedom, and their dynamical properties, in higher derivative gravitational theories is presented. It is shown that non-vanishing (Cmnpq) 2 terms arise in N=1, D=4 superstring Lagrangians due to one-loop radiative corrections with light field internal lines. 1 Bosonic Gravitation The usual Einstein theory of gravitation involves a symmetric tensor gμν wh...
