Quadratic gravity in four dimensions (brief review) For a long time, people have asked the following question: What is the four dimensional gravity theory, which is renormalizable and unitary?

Quadratic gravity in four dimensions (brief review) K. S. Stelle (1977)

Quadratic gravity in four dimensions (brief review) K. S. Stelle (1977) This gravity theory is renormalisable, and it describes in general a massless spin-2 graviton, a massive spin-2 field and a massive scalar.

Quadratic gravity in four dimensions (brief review) K. S. Stelle (1977) This gravity theory is renormalisable, and it describes in general a massless spin-2 graviton, a massive spin-2 field and a massive scalar. The energies of excitations of the massive spin-2 field are negative, while those of the massless graviton are, as usual, positive. Thus although the theory is renormalisable, it suffers from having ghosts.
