Exact Quantum Loop Results in the Theory of General Relativity †

چکیده

We present a new approach to quantum general relativity based on the idea of Feynman to treat the graviton in Einstein's theory as a point particle field subject to quantum fluctuations just as any such field is in the well-known Standard Model of the electroweak and strong interactions. We show that, by using resummation techniques based on the extension of the methods of Yennie, Frautschi and Suura to Feynman's formulation of Einstein's theory, we get calculable loop corrections that are even free of UV divergences. One further by-product of our analysis is that we can apply it to a large class of interacting field theories, both renormalizable and non-renormalizable, to render their UV divergences finite as well. We illustrate our results with applications of some phenomeno-logical interest.

Bulk Viscous Bianchi Type VI0 Cosmological Model in the Self-creation Theory of Gravitation and in the General Theory of Relativity

In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...

Basis states for gravitons in non-perturbative loop representation space

A relation between the non-perturbative loop representation space (for use of exact quantization of general relativity) and the semi-classical loop representation space (for use of approximate quantization of general relativity with a flat background spacetime) is studied. A sector of (approximate) states and a sector of operators in the non-perturbative loop representation space are made relat...

Towards Exact Quantum Loop Results in the Theory of General Relativity

We show that, by using resummation techniques based on the extension of the methods of Yennie, Frautschi and Suura to Feynman’s formulation of Einstein’s theory, we get calculable loop corrections that are even (superficially) free of UV divergences. The UV finiteness of the loops results from resumming large IR terms O(GN|k 2 |ln|k 2 |) n , n = 1,..., for |k 2 | , where GN is Newton’s constant...

Massive Elementary Particles and Black Holes †

An outstanding problem posed by Einstein's general theory of relativity to the quantum theory of point particle fields is the fate of a massive point particle; for, in the classical solutions of Einstein's theory, such a system should be a black hole. We use exact results in a new approach to quantum gravity to show that this conclusion is obviated by quantum loop effects. Phenomenological impl...
