Induced cosmological and Newton constants from towers of states

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

We consider quadratic gravity with only Ricci squared and Weyl squared kinetic terms at treelevel, coupled to specific numbers of infinite towers of free scalars, Weyl fermions and gauge bosons in four dimensions. We show that predictable cosmological and Newton constants are induced at 1-loop. This result is cross-checked using both the heat kernel method and Adler's approach.
