Quantization of the Gravitational Constant in Odd-Dimensional Gravity
arXiv:hep-th/9406202 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.51.490
Abstract
It is pointed out that the action recently proposed by Bañados et al. for gravitation in odd dimensions higher (and lower) than four, provides a natural quantization for the gravitational constant. These theories possess no dimensionful parameters and hence they may be power counting renormalizable.
