On The Behavior Of Gravitational Force At Small Scales

High Energy Physics - Theory 2020-01-08 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We point out the idea that, at small scales, gravity can be described by the standard degrees of freedom of general relativity, plus a scalar particle and a degree of freedom of a new type: the fakeon. This possibility leads to fundamental implications in understanding gravitational force at quantum level as well as phenomenological consequences in the corresponding classical theory.
