One-loop Quantum Electrodynamic Correction to the Gravitational Potentials on de Sitter [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.01564


We compute the one loop photon contribution to the graviton self-energy on de Sitter background and use it to solve the linearized Einstein equation for a point mass. Our results show that a co-moving observer sees a logarithmic spatial running Newton’s constant. Equivalently a static observer reports a secular suppression of the Newtonian potential.
