Renormalization in quantum Brans-Dicke gravity

Abstract

In the Brans-Dicke model we treat the scalar field exactly and expand the gravitational field in a power series. A comparison with 2D sigma models and φ4 perturbation theory in four dimensions suggests that the perturbation series in 4D Brans-Dicke model is renormalizable.
