Fakeons, quantum gravity and the correspondence principle
Damiano Anselmi
The correspondence principle made of unitarity, locality and renormalizability has been very successful in quantum field theory. Among the other things, it helped us build the stan…
Fakeons and microcausality: light cones, gravitational waves and the Hubble constant
Damiano Anselmi, Antonio Marino
The concept of fake particle, or "fakeon", allows us to make sense of quantum gravity as an ultraviolet complete theory, by renouncing causality at very small distances. We investi…
Fakeons, unitarity, massive gravitons and the cosmological constant
Damiano Anselmi
We give a simple proof of perturbative unitarity in gauge theories and quantum gravity using a special gauge that allows us to separate the physical poles of the free propagators,…
Fakeons and the classicization of quantum gravity: the FLRW metric
Damiano Anselmi
Under certain assumptions, it is possible to make sense of higher derivative theories by quantizing the unwanted degrees of freedom as fakeons, which are later projected away. Then…
