abstract

Using the invariance of Quadratic Gravity in FLRW metric under the group of diffeomorphisms of the time coordinate, we rewrite the action $A$ of the theory in terms of the invariant dynamical variable $g(\tau)\,.$ We propose to consider the path integrals $\int\,F(g)\,\exp\left\{-A \right\}dg$ as the integrals over the functional measure $\mu(g)=\exp\left\{-A_{2} \right\}dg\,,\ $ where $A_{2}$ is the part of the action $A$ quadratic in $R\,.$ The rest part of the action stands in the exponent in the integrand as the "interaction" term. We prove the measure $\mu(g)$ to be equivalent to the Wiener measure, and, as an example, calculate the averaged scale factor in the first nontrivial perturbative order.

  1. Conformal Cores of Quantum Black Holes in Quadratic Gravity

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.
