The Wightman two-point function for the gravitational field in the linear approximation (the rank-2 ``massless'' tensor field) on de Sitter space has a pathological behaviour for large separated points (infrared divergence). This behaviour…
Graviton loop corrections to observables in de Sitter space often lead to infrared divergences. We show that these infrared divergences are resolved by the spontaneous breaking of de Sitter invariance.
We study an interacting $\lambda\,\phi^4_{\star}$ scalar field defined on Snyder-de Sitter space. Due to the noncommutativity as well as the curvature of this space, the renormalization of the two-point function differs from the commutative…
