Quantum Gravity and background field formalism

Abstract

We analyze the problem of general covariance for quantum gravity theories in the background field formalism with respect to gauge fixing procedure. We prove that the background effective action is not invariant under general coordinate transformations of background metric tensor in non-linear gauges.
