Taming the beast: diffusion method in nonlocal gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-05-23 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We present a method to solve the nonlinear dynamical equations of motion in gravitational theories with fundamental nonlocalities of a certain type. For these specific form factors, which appear in some renormalizable theories, the number of field degrees of freedom and of initial conditions is finite.
