Reconstructing the graviton
نویسندگان
چکیده
We reconstruct the Lorentzian graviton propagator in asymptotically safe quantum gravity from Euclidean data. The reconstruction is applied to both dynamical fluctuation and background propagator. prove that spectral function of latter necessarily has negative parts similar to, for same reasons, as gluon function. In turn, positive. argue enters cross sections other observables gravity. Hence, its positivity may hint at unitarity

Screening the Graviton Background, Graviton Pairing, and Newtonian Gravity
It is shown that screening the background of super-strong interacting gravitons creates for any pair of bodies as an attraction force as well an repulsion force due to pressure of gravitons. For single gravitons, these forces are approximately balanced, but each of them is much bigger than a force of Newtonian attraction. If single gravitons are pairing, a body attraction force due to pressure ...
متن کاملInfrared behavior of graviton-graviton scattering
The quantum effective theory of general relativity, independent of the eventual full theory at high energy, expresses graviton-graviton scattering at one loop order O ( E4 ) with only one parameter, Newton’s constant. Dunbar and Norridge have calculated the one loop amplitude using string based techniques. We complete the calculation by showing that the 1 d−4 divergence which remains in their r...
متن کاملMass for the graviton
Can we give the graviton a mass? Does it even make sense to speak of a massive graviton? In this essay I shall answer these questions in the affirmative. I shall outline an alternative to Einstein Gravity that satisfies the Equivalence Principle and automatically passes all classical weak-field tests (GM/r ≈ 10). It also passes medium-field tests (GM/r ≈ 1/5), but exhibits radically different s...
متن کاملGraviton Physics
The interactions of gravitons with matter are calculated in parallel with the familiar photon case. It is shown that graviton scattering amplitudes can be factorized into a product of familiar electromagnetic forms, and cross sections for various reactions are straightforwardly evaluated using helicity methods.
متن کاملWeakly-coupled metastable graviton
A graviton of a nonzero mass and decay width propagates five physical polarizations. The question of interactions of these polarizations is crucial for viability of models of massive/metastable gravity. This question is addressed in the context of the DGP model of a metastable graviton. First, I argue that the well-known breakdown of a naive perturbative expansion at a low scale is an artifact ...
