We treat general relativity as an effective field theory, obtaining the full nonanalytic component of the scattering matrix potential to one-loop order. The lowest order vertex rules for the resulting effective field theory are presented and the one-loop diagrams which yield the leading nonrelativistic post-Newtonian and quantum corrections to the gravitational scattering amplitude to second order in G are calculated in detail. The Fourier transformed amplitudes yield a nonrelativistic potential and our result is discussed in relation to previous calculations. The definition of a potential is discussed as well and we show how the ambiguity of the potential under coordinate changes is resolved.

  1. Trace anomaly, effective approach, and gravitational potential

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Anomaly-induced corrections to the Newtonian potential in the Boulware vacuum disagree with effective quantum gravity results unless the long-distance stress tensor asymptotics are altered.

  2. Finite Hilbert space and maximum mass of Schwarzschild black holes from a Generalized Uncertainty Principle

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    GUP with minimal length and maximal momentum applied to Schwarzschild black holes yields finite discrete mass spectrum, maximum mass, and constrains the GUP parameter to β ≲ 10^{-98} from astrophysical data.

  3. Cancellation of one-parameter graviton gauge dependence in the effective scalar field equation in de Sitter

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Gauge dependence cancels in the one-loop effective scalar equation in de Sitter when all diagram contributions including external mode corrections are collected.
