Vacuum correlations at geodesic distance in quantum gravity
arXiv:hep-th/9410086 · doi:10.1007/BF02724514
Abstract
The vacuum correlations of the gravitational field are highly non-trivial to be defined and computed, as soon as their arguments and indices do not belong to a background but become dynamical quantities. Their knowledge is essential however in order to understand some physical properties of quantum gravity, like virtual excitations and the possibility of a continuum limit for lattice theory. In this review the most recent perturbative and non-perturbative advances in this field are presented. (To appear on Riv. Nuovo Cim.)
