On The Behavior Of Gravitational Force At Small Scales
arXiv:1905.06516 · doi:10.1142/S0218271819440073
Abstract
We point out the idea that, at small scales, gravity can be described by the standard degrees of freedom of general relativity, plus a scalar particle and a degree of freedom of a new type: the fakeon. This possibility leads to fundamental implications in understanding gravitational force at quantum level as well as phenomenological consequences in the corresponding classical theory.
