Matching the Vilkovisky-DeWitt Effective Action of Quantum Gravity to String Theory
arXiv:2408.15146 · doi:10.1002/prop.202400176
Abstract
In this work, we discuss the matching of the Vilkovisky-DeWitt effective action of quantum gravity to an example of an ultra-violet complete theory of quantum gravity. We show how this matching enables a calculation of the local Wilson coefficients of the effective action. We provide several examples in string theory. Moreover, we discuss the matching conditions within the context of the swampland program.
