A Lagrange multiplier field can be used to restrict radiative corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action to one-loop order. This result is employed to show that it is possible to couple a scalar field to the metric (graviton) field in such…
The dimensionful nature of the coupling in the Einstein-Hilbert action in four dimensions implies that the theory is non-renormalizable; explicit calculation shows that beginning at two loop order, divergences arise that cannot be removed…
The first order form of the Yang-Mills and Einstein-Hilbert actions are quantized, and it is shown how Green's functions computed using the first and the second order form of these theories are related. Next we show how by use of Lagrange…
We study the Yang-Mills theory and quantum gravity at finite temperature, in the presence of Lagrange multiplier fields. These restrict the path integrals to field configurations which obey the classical equations of motion. This has the…
A Lagrange multiplier field restricts the quantum corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action at one-loop order, yielding a model that is renormalizable and unitary while reproducing the Einstein field equations in the classical limit.
The problem of eliminating divergences arising in quantum gravity is generally addressed by modifying the classical Einstein-Hilbert action. These modifications might involve the introduction of local supersymmetry, the addition of terms…
The introduction of a Lagrange multiplier field to ensure that the classical equations of motion are satisfied serves to restrict radiative corrections in a model to being only one loop. The consequences of this for a massive non-Abelian…
In ``On restricting to one-loop order the radiative effects in quantum gravity" (Brandt, Frenkel, and McKeon, 2020) \cite{Brandt2020}, a Lagrange multiplier (LM) field is introduced into the Einstein-Hilbert action, removing all multi-loop…
Although one-loop calculations provide a realistic description of bulk and single-particle nuclear properties, it is necessary to examine loop corrections to develop a systematic finite-density power-counting scheme for the nuclear…
The loop expansion is applied to a chiral effective hadronic lagrangian; with the techniques of Infrared Regularization, it is possible to separate out the short-range contributions and to write them as local products of fields that are…
It has been shown that by using a Lagrange multiplier field to ensure that the classical equations of motion are satisfied, radiative effects beyond one-loop order are eliminated. It has also been shown that through the contribution of some…
We explicitly calculate one-loop divergences for an arbitrary field theory model using the higher derivative regularization and nonsingular gauge condition. They are shown to agree with the results found in the dimensional regularization…
We discuss the limitations of the covariant derivative expansion prescription advocated to compute the one-loop Standard Model (SM) effective lagrangian when the heavy fields couple linearly to the SM. In particular, one-loop contributions…
A quantum scalar field theory with spacetime-dependent coupling is studied. Surprisingly, while translation invariance is explicitly broken in the classical theory, momentum conservation is recovered at the quantum level for some specific…
We discuss some applications of the effective quantum field theory to the description of the physics beyond the Standard Model. We consider two different examples. In the first one we derive, at the one-loop level, an effective lagrangian…

We consider the Hamiltonian constraint formulation of classical field theories, which treats spacetime and the space of fields symmetrically, and utilizes the concept of momentum multivector. The gauge field is introduced to compensate for…
Lagrange multipliers are present in any gauge theory. They possess peculiar gauge transformation which is not generated by the constraints in the model as it is the case with the other variables. For rank one gauge theories we show how to…
