Quantum gravity, fakeons and microcausality

Abstract We investigate the properties of fakeons in quantum gravity at one loop. The theory is described by a graviton multiplet, which contains the fluctuation h μν of the metric, a massive scalar ϕ and the spin-2 fakeon χ μν . The fields ϕ and χ μν are introduced explicitly at the level of the La...
