Relativistic gravitational theories other than Einstein's, including asymmetric field theories (83D05) Geometrodynamics and the holographic principle (83E05)

Abstract: We show that causality constrains the sign of quartic Riemann corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action. Our constraint constitutes a restriction on candidate theories of quantum gravity.
