Vilkovisky unique effective action in quantum gravity

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The divergent part of the one-loop Vilkovisky unique effective action for quantum Einstein gravity is evaluated in the general parametrization of the quantum field, including the separated conformal factor. The output of this calculation explicitly demonstrates the parametrization and conformal gauge independence of the unique effective action with the configuration space metric chosen following Vilkovisky's prescription.
