Seminar
On the Ostrogradsky Ghost and the UV Finite Gravitation
Prof Chunshan Lin
Kyoto University
9 Mar 2017 (Thursday)
2:00 pm
IAS4042, 4/F, Lo Ka Chung Building, Lee Shau Kee Campus, HKUST
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.
The seminar is free and open to the public. No registration is required. Seating is on a first come, first served basis.
