Metric Redefinition and UV Divergences in Quantum Einstein Gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-02-17 v4 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

I formulate several statements demonstrating that the local metric redefinition can be used to reduce the UV divergences present in the quantum action for the Einstein gravity in d=4d=4 dimensions. In its most general form, the proposal is that any UV divergences in the quantum action can be removed by an appropriate field re-definition and a renormalization of cosmological constant.
