Abstract

The first part of a detailed analysis of the one-loop divergences of fourth-order gravity theories is presented. The functional-integral structure is determined and the three kinds of ghosts which appear are discussed. Field operators and gauge-fixing terms are derived and are found to be far more complicated than those of standard second-order theory, whose details are presented for comparison to the fourth-order case. We outline how, in future papers, we will approach the computation of the one-loop counterterms using pseudo-differential operator techniques and related methods. We also discuss briefly what other workers have done and are doing in studies of the problems inherent in fourth-order gravity and its extensions. Finally, we emphasize the need to investigate the full non-linear theory with coordinate-space methods and mention some of the problems brought about by linearization. Details of calculations and the multilevel-mass-spectrum theory are presented in several appendices.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
