We explicitly work out the de Sitter breaking contributions to the recent solution for the de Donder gauge graviton propagator on de Sitter. We also provide explicit power series expansions for the two structure functions, which are suitable for implementing dimensional regularization. And we evaluate the coincidence limit of the propagator.

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.
