One-loop divergences in first order Einstein-Hilbert gravity
Abstract
One-loop counterterms are computed in the first order formalism for the Einstein-Hilbert action with a minimally coupled scalar field using the background field method and the heat kernel technique. The off-shell divergent piece in the harmonic gauge is exactly the same as the one first found by 't Hooft and Veltman.
