abstract

We employ the graviton self-energy induced by a massless, minimally coupled (MMC) scalar on de Sitter background to compute the quantum corrections to the gravitational potentials of a static point particle with a mass $M$. The Schwinger-Keldysh formalism is used to derive real and causal effective field equations. When evaluated at the one-loop order, the gravitational potentials exhibit a secular decrease in the observed gravitational coupling $G$. This can also be interpreted as a (time dependent) anti-screening of the mass $M$.

Sensing the Inflationary Production of Scalars

gr-qc · 2026-06-16 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Exact 1-loop corrections from matter loops enhance the decay of gravitational wave mode functions after horizon crossing during inflation, with stronger effects from minimally coupled scalars possibly interpreted as a shift in the Hubble parameter.
