Quantization of Einstein's Gravitational Field: Linear Approximation

Proceedings of the Physical Society Section A, 1952
The approximate linear form of Einstein's gravitational field is quantized by using an indefinite metric. It is shown that only two types of gravitons can be observed, though many more can exist in virtual states in the presence of interaction. The observable gravitons are shown to be particles of spin 2.

The necessity of quantizing the gravitational field

Foundations of Physics, 1977
The assumption that a classical gravitational field interacts with a quantum system is shown to lead to violations of either momentum conservation or the uncertainty principle, or to result in transmission of signals faster thanc. A similar argument holds for the electromagnetic field.

Quantized Gravitational Field

Physical Review, 1963
A gravitational action operator is constructed that is invariant under general coordinate transformations and local Lorentz (gauge) transformations. To interpret the formalism the arbitrariness in description must be restricted by introducing gauge conditions and coordinate conditions.

Covariant quantization of the gravitational field

Uspekhi Fizicheskih Nauk, 1973
A review dedicated to the contemporary methods of quantization of the gravitational field. In view of possible applications to elementary particle theory, the authors consider only asymptotically flat gravitational fields. The basis of the exposed method of quantization is the method of quantization of gauge fields in the functional integration ...

Quantized Meson Field in a Classical Gravitational Field

Physical Review, 1960
The behavior of a quantized meson field in a classical gravitational field is examined. Physical quantities such as the expectation value for the number of created mesons are represented in terms of a formal Green-s function. They are computed explicitly for the case of a special spaceindependent gravitational field.

On the quantization of the linearized gravitational field

Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1999
Summary: We present a new point of view on the quantization of the gravitational field, namely we use exclusively the quantum framework of the second quantization. More explicitly, we take as one-particle Hilbert space, \(H_{\text{graviton}}\) the unitary irreducible representation of the Poincaré group corresponding to a massless particle of helicity ...

Quantized singularities in the gravitational field

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1976
The Cabibbo-Ferrari derivation of the Dirac charge quantization condition in electromagnetism is extended to the gravitational field. This is accomplished by use of the pathdependent formalism pioneered by Mandelstam. As a result, we find that the Bianchi identity generalizes to include a quantized, singular source term for the dual Riemann tensor ...
