IAS PROGRAM ON PARTICLE THEORY
On the Ostrogradsky Ghost and the UV Finite Gravitation
Prof Chunshan Lin, Kyoto University
Date : 9 Mar 2017 (Thursday)
Time : 2:00 pm
Venue : IAS4042, 4/F, Lo Ka Chung Building, Lee Shau Kee Campus, HKUST

Abstract

In this talk, the speaker will introduce a no-ghost theorem, which is a large class of scalar-tensor theories free from Ostrogradsky ghost. In the framework of ghost free scalar-tensor theories, he will show an example which exhibits the finite gravitation at UV side. The theory is thus power counting renormalisable.
