abstract

The action $A$ of Quadratic Gravity in FLRW metric is invariant under the group of diffeomorphisms of the time coordinate and can be written in terms of the only dynamical variable $g(\tau)\,.$ We construct perturbation theory for calculating path integrals of the form $\int\,F(g)\,\exp\left\{-A (g)\right\}dg\,,$ and find the averaged value of the scale factor in the first nontrivial perturbative order.

Exact complex power-law solutions of pure quadratic gravity, named powerballs, can match a Schwarzschild black hole just outside its horizon and give a finite-action model of the quantum interior.
