Massive scalar's self-mass from gravitons in de Sitter
Dražen Glavan, Shun-Pei Miao, Tomislav Prokopec +1
We compute the fully renormalized one-graviton-loop contribution to the self-mass of a massive scalar field in de Sitter space. The computation is performed using dimensional regul…
Comments on Entire Functions of the Derivative Operator
R. P. Woodard
Many attempts to introduce fundamental nonlocality into quantum (or classical) field theory are based on the assumption that exponentials of the d'Alembertian are positive-definite…
Resummations for Inflationary Quantum Gravity
R. P. Woodard
The continual production of gravitons during inflation endows loop corrections with secular logarithms which grow nonperturbatively large during a prolonged period of inflation. Th…
The Third Structure Function
S. P. Miao, N. C. Tsamis, R. P. Woodard +1
We re-consider the graviton self-energy induced by a loop of massless, minimally coupled scalars on de Sitter background. On flat space background it can be represented as a sum of…
Summing Gravitational Effects from Loops of Inflationary Scalars
S. P. Miao, N. C. Tsamis, R. P. Woodard
We develop a procedure for re-summing the large logarithms induced in gravity by loops of inflationary scalars. We first show how the scalar can be integrated out of the field equa…
How Inflationary Gravitons Affect the Force of Gravity
L. Tan, N. C. Tsamis, R. P. Woodard
We employ an unregulated computation the graviton self-energy from gravitons on de Sitter background to infer the renormalized result. This is used to quantum-correct the linearize…
