Background-metric Independent Formulation of 4D Quantum Gravity
Using the background-metric independence for the traceless mode as well as the conformal mode, 4D quantum gravity is described as a quantum field theory defined on a non-dynamical backgroundmetric. The measure then induces an action with 4 derivatives. So we think that 4-th order gravity is essential and the Einstein-Hilbert term should be treated like a mass term. We introduce the dimensionles...
متن کاملPalatini versus metric formulation in higher-curvature gravity
We compare the metric and the Palatini formalism to obtain the Einstein equations in the presence of higher-order curvature corrections that consist of contractions of the Riemann tensor, but not of its derivatives. We find that, with the exception of standard Einsteingravity, the two formalisms are not equivalent, but that the Palatini formalism is contained within the metric formalism, in the...
متن کاملQuadratic metric-affine gravity
We consider spacetime to be a connected real 4-manifold equipped with a Lorentzian metric and an affine connection. The 10 independent components of the (symmetric) metric tensor and the 64 connection coefficients are the unknowns of our theory. We introduce an action which is quadratic in curvature and study the resulting system of Euler–Lagrange equations. In the first part of the paper we lo...
متن کاملMetric from Non-Metric Action of Gravity
The action of general relativity proposed by Capovilla, Jacobson and Dell is written in terms of SO(3) gauge fields and gives Ashtekar's constraints for Einstein gravity. However, it does not depend on the space-time metric nor its signature explicitly. We discuss how the space-time metric is introduced from algebraic relations of the constraints and the Hamiltonian by focusing our attention on...
متن کاملHybrid Metric-Palatini Gravity
Recently, the phenomenology of f(R) gravity has been scrutinized. This scrutiny has been motivated by the possibility to account for the self-accelerated cosmic expansion without invoking dark energy sources. Besides, this kind of modified gravity is capable of addressing the dynamics of several self-gravitating systems alternatively to the presence of dark matter. It has been established that ...
