诱导Lovelock action

Inducing the Lovelock action

Jan-Peter Boernsen, Anton E. M. van de Ven

摘要:

我们重新分析了在爱因斯坦-高斯-邦纳引力的维数正则化的应用中可能存在的模糊性,这是由于人们对待高斯-邦纳项的方式引起的。结果表明,增加这样一个项的作用量产生一个非最小的引力子波算子,但不产生新的壳层上的分歧在一个循环的顺序d=4。然而,从d维的角度来看,高斯-邦纳项产生新的发散的形式的六维欧拉密度。猜想,一个将下一步产生的八维欧拉项被证明是错误的。

英文摘要:

We re-analyze a possible ambiguity in the application of dimensional regularization to Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, arising from the way one treats the Gauss-Bonnet term. It is demonstrated that the addition of such a term to the action gives rise to a non-minimal graviton wave operator, but does not produce new on shell divergences at one loop order in d=4. However, from a d-dimensional perspective the Gauss-Bonnet term is shown to generate new divergences in the form of the six-dimensional Euler density. The conjecture that one would next produce the eight-dimensional Euler term is shown to be false.
