چکیده
We investigate the influence of the projective invariance on the renormalization properties of the theory. One-loop counterterms are calculated in the most general case of interaction of gravity with scalar field.

According to the perturbation order, the equations of motion of low-energy string effective action are the generalized Einstein equations. Thus, by making use of the conformal transformation of the metric tensor, it is possible to map the low-energy string effective action into f(T) gravity, relating the dilaton field to the torsion scalar. Considering a homogeneous and isotropic universe and ...
متن کاملOne-Loop Vilkovisky-DeWitt Counterterms for 2D Gravity plus Scalar Field Theory
The divergent part of the one-loop off-shell effective action is computed for a single scalar field coupled to the Ricci curvature of 2D gravity (cφR), and self interacting by an arbitrary potential term V (φ). The Vilkovisky-DeWitt effective action is used to compute gauge-fixing independent results. In our background field/covariant gauge we find that the Liouville theory is finite on shell. ...
متن کاملEffective action in a quantized metric
We calculate the effective action in Yang-Mills and scalar φ quantum field theory with quantized scale invariant metric treated nonperturbatively in d = 4 dimensions. There is no charge renormalization in the one-loop order for matter fields. We show that the electromagnetic energy of point charges can be finite. The temperature dependence of the effective action in inflationary models is chang...
متن کاملGauge invariance in simplicial gravity
The issue of local gauge invariance in the simplicial lattice formulation of gravity is examined. We exhibit explicitly, both in the weak-field expansion about flat space, and subsequently for arbitrarily triangulated background manifolds, the exact local gauge invariance of the gravitational action, which includes in general both cosmological constant and curvature-squared terms. We show that ...

We start from the pure Einstein-Hilbert action S = λ 2 R ⋆ 1 in Metric-Affine-Gravity, with the orthonormal metric g ab = η ab. We get an effective Levi-Civita Dilaton gravity theory in which the Dilaton field is related to the scaling of the gravitational coupling. When the Weyl symmetry is broken the resulting Einstein-Hilbert term is equivalent to the Levi-Civita one, using the projective in...
