Quantum Gravity Without Ghosts
An outline is given of a recently discovered technique for building a quantum e ective action that is completely independent of gaugexing choices and ghost determinants. One makes maximum use of the geometry and brebundle structure of the space of eld histories and introduces a set of nonlocal composite elds: the geodesic normal elds based on Vilkovisky's connection on the space of histories. T...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory
In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
متن کاملThree-dimensional gravity and string ghosts.
It is known that much of the structure of string theory can be derived from threedimensional topological field theory and gravity. We show here that, at least for simple topologies, the string diffeomorphism ghosts can also be explained in terms of three-dimensional physics. On leave from ITEP, Moscow, USSR
متن کاملMassive Gravity
We review recent progress in massive gravity. We start by showing how different theories of massive gravity emerge from a higher-dimensional theory of general relativity, leading to the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model (DGP), cascading gravity, and ghost-free massive gravity. We then explore their theoretical and phenomenological consistency, proving the absence of Boulware-Deser ghosts and review...
متن کاملMassive gravity in three dimensions.
A particular higher-derivative extension of the Einstein-Hilbert action in three spacetime dimensions is shown to be equivalent at the linearized level to the (unitary) Pauli-Fierz action for a massive spin-2 field. A more general model, which also includes "topologically-massive" gravity as a special case, propagates the two spin-2 helicity states with different masses. We discuss the extensio...
