abstract

This is a pedagogical introduction to the treatment of general relativity as a quantum effective field theory. Gravity fits nicely into the effective field theory description and forms a good quantum theory at ordinary energies.

Stationary Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet black holes

gr-qc · 2026-04-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

New stationary vectorized black holes exist in Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet theory, including charged spherical, uncharged axial with magnetic moments, and rotating solutions bounded by Kerr and static cases.

Black hole mergers beyond general relativity: a self-force approach

gr-qc · 2025-10-13 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Self-force theory is extended to compute merger and ringdown waveforms in beyond-GR black hole binaries under the extreme mass-ratio approximation, with first calculations of self-force corrections to the merger waveform.

Quantum gravity and matter fields in a general background gauge

hep-th · 2026-03-24 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

One-loop effective action for quantum gravity plus matter is computed off-shell in a general background gauge, shown to be gauge-independent on-shell per the DeWitt-Kallosh theorem, and used to establish non-renormalizability.

Response of interferometers to the vacuum of quantum gravity

hep-th · 2024-09-05 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Standard low-energy quantum gravity via effective graviton QFT predicts interferometer length variations of order the Planck length (~10^{-35} m), with no divergences indicating breakdown.
