Abstract

In this note we give some remarks on the BRST formulation of a renormalizable and diffemorphism invariant 4D quantum gravity recently proposed by the author, which satisfies the integrability condition by Riegard, Fradkin and Tseytlin at the 2-loop level. Diffeomorphism invariance requires an addition of the Wess-Zumino action, from which the Weyl action can be induced by expanding around a vacuum expectation value of the conformal mode. This fact suggests the theory has in itself a mechanism to remove extra negative-metric states dynamically.
