We employ a manifestly covariant formalism to compute the tree-level amputated Green's function of non-minimally coupled scalar fields in quadratic gravity in a de Sitter background. We study this Green's function in the adiabatic limit,…

From the group theoretical point of view, it is proved that the theory of linear conformal gravity should be written in terms of a tensor field of rank-3 and mixed symmetry [Binegar, et al, Phys. Rev. D 27, (1983) 2249]. We obtained such a…
