One-loop divergencies in the theory of gravitation
Abstract
All one-loop divergencies of pure gravity and all those of gravitation interacting with a scalar particle are calculated. In the case of pure gravity, no physically relevant divergencies remain; they can all be absorbed in a field renormalization. In case of gravitation interacting with scalar particles, divergencies in physical quantities remain, even when employing the so called improved energy-momentum tensor.
