Quantum Gravity group meeting: Julian Lang

Abstract: Self-dual gravity is a description of gravity with Einstein metrics in 4 dimensions with one chiral half of the Weyl curvature set to zero. Even though this theory is an interacting theory with negative mass dimension coupling it turns out to be quantum finite. This talk will explain a covariant formulation of self-dual gravity due to Kirill Krasnov, 1 loop exactness, and the relation to full GR.
