Finite Entanglement Entropy of Black Holes

Stefano Giaccari, Leonardo Modesto, Leslaw Rachwal +1

We compute the area term contribution to black holes' entanglement entropy (using the conical technique) for a class of local or weakly non-local super-renormalizable gravitational…

Exact solutions and spacetime singularities in nonlocal gravity

Yao-Dong Li, Leonardo Modesto, Leslaw Rachwal

We give here a list of exact classical solutions of a large class of weakly nonlocal theories of gravity, which are unitary and super-renormalizable (or finite) at quantum level. I…

Finite quantum gauge theories

Leonardo Modesto, Marco Piva, Leslaw Rachwal

We explicitly compute the one-loop exact beta function for a nonlocal extension of the standard gauge theory, in particular Yang-Mills and QED. The theory, made of a weakly nonloca…

Scattering amplitudes in super-renormalizable gravity

Pietro Donà, Stefano Giaccari, Leonardo Modesto +2

We explicitly compute the tree-level on-shell four-graviton amplitudes in four, five and six dimensions for local and weakly nonlocal gravitational theories that are quadratic in b…

Computing the Effective Action with the Functional Renormalization Group

Alessandro Codello, Roberto Percacci, Leslaw Rachwal +1

The "exact" or "functional" renormalization group equation describes the renormalization group flow of the effective average action . The ordinary effective action can b…

Universally Finite Gravitational & Gauge Theories

Leonardo Modesto, Leslaw Rachwal

It is well known that standard gauge theories are renormalizable in D=4 while Einstein gravity is renormalizable in D=2. This is where the research in the field of two derivatives…
