We present a new computation of the renormalized graviton self-energy induced by a loop of massless, minimally coupled scalars on de Sitter background. Our result takes account of the need to include a finite renormalization of the cosmological constant, which was not included in the first analysis. We also avoid preconceptions concerning structure functions and instead express the result as a linear combination of 21 tensor differential operators. By using our result to quantum-correct the linearized effective field equation we derive logarithmic corrections to both the electric components of the Weyl tensor for gravitational radiation and to the two potentials which quantify the gravitational response to a static point mass.

    The 1-loop graviton self-energy from a massless fermion loop is derived on any cosmological background, and the resulting de Sitter corrections to gravitational waves and the Newtonian potential are resummed via a ren...

  2. Resumming Photon Loops for Inflationary Gravity

    gr-qc 2024-12 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Photon loops on de Sitter background are conserved at one loop and produce a positive, logarithmically growing correction to the Weyl tensor and Newtonian potential that resums to a power law.

  3. Resummations for Inflationary Quantum Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Secular logarithms from inflationary graviton loops can be resummed by combining a modified stochastic formalism with a modified renormalization group, though the pure-gravity sector remains incomplete.
