On higher-derivative dilatonic gravity in two dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss lowering the order of the two-dimensional scalar-tensor R2 quantum gravity, by mapping the most general version of the model to a multi-dilaton gravity, which is essentially the sigma-model coupled with the Jackiw-Teitelboim-like gravity. In the continuation of our previous research, we calculate the divergent part of the one-loop effective action in a 2D scalar-tensor (dilatonic) gravity with the R2-term, which belongs to a specific degenerate case and cannot be obtained from the general expression. The corresponding finiteness conditions are found. ∗Electronic address: [email protected]

Dilatonic gravity near two dimensions and asymptotic freedom of the gravitational coupling constant
Two models of dilatonic gravity are investigated: (i) dilaton-Yang-Mills gravity and (ii) higher-derivative dilatonic gravity. Both are renormalizable in 2 + ǫ dimensions and have a smooth limit for ǫ → 0. The corresponding one-loop effective actions and beta-functions are found. Both theories are shown to possess a non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point —for all dilatonic couplings— in which the ...
متن کاملConsistency of Higher Derivative Gravity in the Brane Background
We consider the theory of higher derivative gravity with non-factorizable RandallSundrum type space-time and obtain the metric solutions which characterize the p-brane world-volume as a curved or planar defect embedded in the higher dimensions. We consider the string inspired effective actions of the dilatonic Gauss-Bonnet type in the brane background and show its consistency with the RS brane-...
متن کاملGeneral dilatonic gravity with an asymptotically free gravitational coupling constant near two dimensions
We study a renormalizable, general theory of dilatonic gravity (with a kinetic-like term for the dilaton) interacting with scalar matter near two dimensions. The one-loop effective action and the beta functions for this general theory are written down. It is proven that the theory possesses a non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point which yields an asymptotically free gravitational coupling constant...

In this paper we consider the action of higher derivative gravity up to the second order terms in the scalars made from the Ricci scalar, Ricci and Riemann tensors. We use the Bach- Lanczos identity of the Weyl tensor in four dimensions and show that the solutions of 4-dimensional Einstein equations with cosmological constant term in vacuum, which are known as Einstein metrics, satisfy the fie...
متن کاملDilaton-Maxwell gravity with matter near two dimensions
Unlike Einstein gravity, dilaton-Maxwell gravity with matter is renormalizable in 2 + ǫ dimensions and has a smooth ǫ → 0 limit. By performing a renormalization-group study of this last theory we show that the gravitational coupling constant G has a non-trivial, ultraviolet stable fixed point (asymptotic freedom) and that the dilatonic coupling functions (including the dilatonic potential) exhi...
