Four-dimensional quantum gravity in the conformal sector
Abstract
We study the trace-anomaly-induced dynamics of the conformal factor of four-dimensional (4D) quantum gravity. The resulting effective scalar theory is ultraviolet renormalizable, and possesses a nontrivial, infrared stable fixed point. The exact anomalous scaling dimension of the conformal factor at the critical point is derived. We argue that this theory describes 4D gravity at large distances and provides a framework for a dynamical solution of the cosmological-constant problem.

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.
