چکیده
We study a scalar field theory coupled to gravity on a flat background, below Planck’s energy. Einstein’s theory is treated as an effective field theory. Within the context of Wilson’s renormalization group, we compute gravitational corrections to the beta functions and the anomalous dimension of the scalar field, taking into account threshold effects.

Pauli (or Einstein) frame is used to study the Brans-Dicke gravity theory, minimally coupled with dilatonic Brans-Dicke scalar field, whose solutions involve degenerate metrics. Some of these solutions exhibit transitions from an Euclidean domain to a Lorentzian space-time corresponding to a spatially flat Robertson-Walker cosmology.
متن کاملAsymptotic safety in Einstein gravity and scalar-fermion matter.
Within the functional renormalization group approach we study the effective quantum field theory of Einstein gravity and one self-interacting scalar coupled to N(f) Dirac fermions. We include in our analysis the matter anomalous dimensions induced by all the interactions and analyze the highly nonlinear beta functions determining the renormalization flow. We find the existence of a nontrivial f...
متن کاملA Weak Gravity Conjecture for Scalar Field Theories
Scalars, such as Higgs and inflaton, play significant roles in both particle physics and cosmology. Recently, Vafa et.al. conjectured an upper bound on the strength of gravity relative to gauge forces in quantum gravity [4]. Their conjecture enriches the criteria of consistent effective field theory proposed in [2, 3]. These criteria help to constrain the string landscape [1] in the vast vacua ...
متن کاملRenormalizable Acausal Theories Of Classical Gravity Coupled With Interacting Quantum Fields
We prove the renormalizability of various theories of classical gravity coupled with interacting quantum fields. The models contain vertices with dimensionalities greater than four, a finite number of matter operators and a finite or reduced number of independent couplings. An interesting class of models is obtained from ordinary power-counting renormalizable theories, letting the couplings dep...
متن کاملUNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS OF STABILITY OF GRAVITY DAMS USING THE FUZZY SET THEORY
This paper introduces a methodology for considering the uncertainties in stability analysis of gravity dams. For this purpose, a conceptual model based on the fuzzy set theory and Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization is developed to be coupled to a gravity dam analysis model. The uncertainties are represented by the fuzzy numbers and the GA is used to estimate in what...
