Resummation of massive gravity.

چکیده
We construct four-dimensional covariant nonlinear theories of massive gravity which are ghost-free in the decoupling limit to all orders. These theories resum explicitly all the nonlinear terms of an effective field theory of massive gravity. We show that away from the decoupling limit the Hamiltonian constraint is maintained at least up to and including quartic order in nonlinearities, hence excluding the possibility of the Boulware-Deser ghost up to this order. We also show that the same remains true to all orders in a similar toy model.

Spherically 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 کاملPlanck Scale Remnants in Resummed Quantum Gravity †
We show that, in a new approach to quantum gravity in which its UV behavior is tamed by resummation of large IR effects, the final state of the Hawking radiation for an originally very massive black hole is a Planck scale remnant which is completely accessible to our universe. This remnant would be expected to decay into n-body final states, leading to Planck scale cosmic rays.
متن کاملBlack Holes and Massive Elementary Particles in Resummed Quantum Gravity †
Einstein's general theory of relativity poses many problems to the quantum theory of point particle fields. Among them is the fate of a massive point particle. Since its rest mass exists entirely within its Schwarzschild radius, in the classical solutions of Einstein's theory, the respective system should be a black hole. We address this issue using exact results in a new approach to quantum gr...
متن کاملResummation and Higher Order Renormalization in 4D Quantum Gravity
Higher order renormalization in 4D quantum gravity is carried out using dimensional regularization with great care concerning the conformal-mode dependence. In this regularization, resummation can be automatically performed without making any assumption, like done by David-Distler-Kawai. In this paper we consider a model of 4D quantum gravity coupled to QED. The renormalizability is directly ch...
متن کاملNew Applications of Resummation in Non-Abelian Gauge Theories: QED⊗QCD Exponentiation for LHC Physics, IR-Improved DGLAP Theory and Resummed Quantum Gravity
We present the elements of three applications of resummation methods in non-Abelian gauge theories: (1), QED⊗QCD exponentiation and shower/ME matching for LHC physics; (2), IR improvement of DGLAP theory; (3), resummed quantum gravity and the final state of Hawking radiation. In all cases, the extension of the YFS approach, originally introduced for Abelian gauge theory, to non-Abelian gauge th...
