Gravitational corrections to the scattering of scalar particles

Abstract

We evaluated the scattering amplitude of neutral scalar particles at one-loop order in the context of effective field theory of quantum gravity in the presence of a cosmological constant. Our study suggests that quantum gravitational corrections induce an asymptotic freedom behavior to the $\lambda {\varphi }^4$ theory, for a positive cosmological constant. This result hints that a complete theory of quantum gravity can play an important role to avoid the issue of triviality in quantum field theory.
