We employ a recent, general gauge computation of the one loop graviton contribution to the vacuum polarization on de Sitter to solve for one loop corrections to the photon mode function. The vacuum polarization takes the form of a gauge independent, spin 2 contribution and a gauge dependent, spin 0 contribution. We show that the leading secular corrections derive entirely from the spin 2 contribution.

  1. Cancellation of one-parameter graviton gauge dependence in the effective scalar field equation in de Sitter

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Gauge dependence cancels in the one-loop effective scalar equation in de Sitter when all diagram contributions including external mode corrections are collected.

  2. Graviton propagator in de Sitter space in a simple one-parameter gauge

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Derives a relatively simple graviton propagator in de Sitter space for a one-parameter family of non-covariant gauges to enable gauge-dependence checks in loop computations.
