A polynomial approach to gravitational theories

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We emphasize that, in a classical theory, invariant under general co-ordinate transformations, the nonpolynomial dependence can be reabsorbed by a suitable fields rescaling, if the theory is scale invariant. The new fields show, in the dilatation limit, the canonical UV dimensions. We derive the BRS differential operator of the new theory and we show here the results we have obtained in its quantum extensions. The proofs will be given in fortheoming more technical papers.

Riassunto

Si sottolinea che in una teoria che è invariante per trasformazioni generalizzate è possibile riassorbire il comportamento non polinomiale con un opportuno riscalamento nei campi, se la teoria è invariante per trasformazioni di scala. I nuovi campi mostrano, nel limite di dilatazione, le dimensioni ultraviolette canoniche. Si deriva l'operatore differenziale di BRS della nuova teoria si mostrano i risultati ottenuti nella sua estensione quantistica. Le dimostrazioni saranno date in lavori successivi.
