abstract
4-derivative gravity provides a renormalizable theory of quantum gravity at the price of introducing a physical ghost, which could admit a sensible positive-energy quantization. To understand its physics, we compute ghost-mediated scatterings among matter particles at tree-level, finding a new power-like infra-red enhancement typical of 4-derivative theories, that we dub '$ghostrahlung$'. Super-Planckian scatterings get downgraded to Planckian by radiating hard gravitons and ghosts, which are weakly coupled and carry away the energy.

BFV quantization of quadratic gravity produces propagators for fields with negative norms and a mass spectrum matching Stelle's results but distributed differently among the fields.
Dyson-Schwinger methods applied to gravity theories produce conformally flat metrics and a sequence of cosmological phase transitions from conformal symmetry breaking that non-minimal scalar couplings can suppress.
