Non-locality in quantum field theory due to general relativity
We show that general relativity coupled to a quantum field theory generically leads to non-local effects in the matter sector. These non-local effects can be described by non-local higher dimensional operators which remarkably have an approximate shift symmetry. When applied to inflationary models, our results imply that small nonGaussianities are a generic feature of models based on general re...
متن کاملRelativity and Quantum Field Theory
Relativistic quantum field theories (RQFTs) are invariant under the action of the Poincaré group, the symmetry group of Minkowski spacetime. Non-relativistic quantum field theories (NQFTs) are invariant under the action of the symmetry group of a classical spacetime; i.e., a spacetime that minimally admits absolute spatial and temporal metrics. This essay is concerned with cashing out two impli...
متن کاملGeneral Relativity and Quantum Theory - Ontological Investigations
It is common to note that the two great theoretical frameworks of twentieth-century physics, quantum theory and general relativity, are prima facie incompatible. Within the physics community, the incompatibility is largely discussed on a technical level. In this paper, I would like to frame the problem more conceptually, focussing on the respective ontologies of the two frameworks. When I speak...
متن کاملExact Quantum Loop Results in the Theory of General Relativity †
We present a new approach to quantum general relativity based on the idea of Feynman to treat the graviton in Einstein's theory as a point particle field subject to quantum fluctuations just as any such field is in the well-known Standard Model of the electroweak and strong interactions. We show that, by using resummation techniques based on the extension of the methods of Yennie, Frautschi and...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theory without Divergence A
On the basis a new conjecture, we present a new Lagrangian density and a new quantization method for QED, construct coupling operators and mass operators, derive scattering operators Sf and Sw which are dependent on each other and supplement new Feynman rules. Sf and Sw together determine a Fenman integral. Hence all Feynman integrals are convergent and it is unnecessary to introduce regulariza...
