Finite Quantum Gravity |
Abstract |
We present a class of weakly non-local higher derivative theories of gravity as a step forward with Einstein general relativity. These theories are unitary (ghost-free) and finite at quantum level in even and odd dimension. In D=4 we explicitly evaluated the beta functions showing quantum scale invariance (all the beta functions vanish). These results can be easily extended in any even dimension and it is likely, that the higher dimensional theory can be made finite too. Therefore we have the possibility for ``finite quantum gravity" in any dimension. |
