Form factors and decoupling of matter fields in four-dimensional gravity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We extend previous calculations of the non-local form factors of semiclassical gravity in 4D to include the Einstein-Hilbert term. The quantized fields are massive scalar, fermion and vector fields. The non-local form factor in this case can be seen as the sum of a power series of total derivatives, but it enables us to derive the beta function of Newton's constant and formally evaluate the decoupling law in the new sector, which turns out to be the standard quadratic one.
