Gauge dependence of gravitational correction to running of gauge couplings.

چکیده
Recently an interesting idea has been put forward by Robinson and Wilczek that the incorporation of quantized gravity in the framework of Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories results in a correction to the running of gauge coupling and, as a consequence, increase the grand unification scale and asymptotic freedom. In this Letter it is shown by explicit calculations that this correction depends on the choice of gauge.

Gravitational correction to running of gauge couplings.
We calculate the contribution of graviton exchange to the running of gauge couplings at lowest non-trivial order in perturbation theory. Including this contribution in a theory that features coupling constant unification does not upset this unification, but rather shifts the unification scale. When extrapolated formally, the gravitational correction renders all gauge couplings asymptotically free.
متن کاملGravitational Correction and Weak Gravity Conjecture
We consider the gravitational correction to the running of gauge coupling. Weak gravity conjecture implies that the gauge theories break down when the gravitational correction becomes greater than the contribution from gauge theories. This observation can be generalized to non-Abelian gauge theories in diverse dimensions and the cases with large extra dimensions. In [1], Vafa suggested that gra...
متن کاملGeneric Gravitational Corrections to Gauge Couplings in SUSY SU(5) GUTs
We study non-universal corrections to the gauge couplings due to higher dimensional operators in supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theories. The corrections are, in general, parametrized by three components originating from 24, 75 and 200 representations. We consider the prediction of α3(MZ) along each 24, 75 and 200 direction, and their linear combinations. The magnitude of GUT scale and its ...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Variation in Brane Models
We consider the space–time variation of gauge couplings in brane world models induced by the coupling to a bulk scalar field. A variation is generated by the running of the gauge couplings with energy and a conformal anomaly while going from the Jordan to the Einstein frame. We indicate that the one-loop corrections cancel implying that one obtains a variation of the fine structure constant by ...
متن کاملOn the Heterotic Effective Action at One Loop Gauge Couplings and the Gravitational Sector
We present in detail the procedure for calculating the heterotic one-loop effective action. We focus on gravitational and gauge couplings. We show that the two-derivative couplings of the gravitational sector are not renormalized at one loop when the ground state is supersymmetric. Arguments are presented that this non-renormalization theorem persists to all orders in perturbation theory. Argum...
