Quantum corrections to unimodular gravity

Journal of High Energy Physics 2015.8 (2015): 078 reproduced by permission of Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA)The problem of the comological constant appears in a new light in Unimodular Gravity. In particular, the zero momentum piece of the potential (that is, the constant piece independent of the matter fields) does not automatically produce a cosmological constant proportional to it. The aim of this paper is to give some details on a calculation showing that quantum corrections do not renormalize the classical value of this observableThis work has been partially supported by the European Union FP7 ITN INVISIBLES (Marie Curie Actions, PITN- GA-2011- 289442) and (HPRN-CT-200-00148); COST action MP1405 (Quantum Structure of Spacetime), COST action MP1210 (The String Theory Universe) as well as by FPA2012-31880 (MICINN, Spain), FPA2011-24568 (MICINN, Spain), and S2009ESP-1473 (CA Madrid).
