On Higher Derivative Gravity In Two Dimensions
The 2D gravity described by the action which is an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature f(R) is considered. The classical vacuum solutions are analyzed. The one-loop renormalizability is studied. For the function f = R lnR the model coupled with scalar (conformal) matter is exactly integrated and is shown to describe a black hole of the 2D dilaton gravity type. The influence of one-loop q...
متن کاملOn higher-derivative dilatonic gravity in two dimensions
We discuss lowering the order of the two-dimensional scalar-tensor R2 quantum gravity, by mapping the most general version of the model to a multi-dilaton gravity, which is essentially the sigma-model coupled with the Jackiw-Teitelboim-like gravity. In the continuation of our previous research, we calculate the divergent part of the one-loop effective action in a 2D scalar-tensor (dilatonic) gr...
متن کاملRenormalization Group Properties of Higher-Derivative Quantum Gravity with Matter in 4 − ε Dimensions
We investigate the phase structure and the infrared properties of higher-derivative quantum gravity (QG) with matter, in 4− ε dimensions. The renormalization group (RG) equations in 4− ε dimensions are analysed for the following types of matter: the fφ-theory, the O(N)φtheory, scalar electrodynamics, and the SU(2) model with scalars. New fixed points for the scalar coupling appear —one of which...
متن کاملOn Torsion Fields in Higher Derivative Quantum Gravity
We consider axial torsion fields which appear in higher derivative quantum gravity. It is shown, in general, that the torsion field possesses states with two spins, one and zero, with different masses. The first-order formulation of torsion fields is performed. Projection operators extracting pure spin and mass states are given. We obtain the Lagrangian in the framework of the first order forma...
متن کاملQuantum gravity, dynamical triangulations and higher derivative regularization
We consider a discrete model of euclidean quantum gravity in four dimensions based on a summation over random simplicial manifolds. The action used is the EinsteinHilbert action plus an R-term. The phase diagram as a function of the bare coupling constants is studied in the search for a sensible continuum limit. For small values of the coupling constant of the R term the model seems to belong t...
