QUANTIZATION OF LINEARIZED GRAVITY IN COSMOLOGICAL VACUUM SPACETIMES
QUANTIZATION OF LINEARIZED GRAVITY IN COSMOLOGICAL VACUUM SPACETIMES
Linearized Einstein gravity (with possibly nonzero cosmological constant) is quantized in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory by analogy with Dimock's treatment of electromagnetism [Rev. Math. Phys. 4 (1992) 223--233]. To achieve this, the classical theory is developed in a full, rigorous and systematic fashion, with particular attention given …
