Calmet, Xavier; Kiritsis, Elias; Kuipers, Folkert und Lüst, Dieter (2024): Matching the Vilkovisky–DeWitt Effective Action of Quantum Gravity to String Theory. In: Fortschritte der Physik, Bd. 72, Nr. 12, 2400176

Abstract

In this work, the matching of the Vilkovisky–DeWitt effective action of quantum gravity is discussedwith an example of an ultra-violet complete theory of quantum gravity. The authors show how this matching enables a calculation of the local Wilson coefficients of the effective action. Several examples in string theory are provided. Moreover, the matching conditions within the context of the swampland program are discussed.
