Gauge-invariant coefficients in perturbative quantum gravity

Abstract Heat kernel methods are useful for studying properties of quantum gravity. We recompute the first three heat kernel coefficients in perturbative quantum gravity with cosmological constant to ascertain which ones are correctly reported in the literature. They correspond to the counterterms n...
