Interaction between massive and massless gravitons by perturbing topological field theory. (English) Zbl 1247.83055

Summary: We test the Wu gauge theory of gravity with massive gravitons in the perturbing topological field theory framework. We show that the computation of the correlation function between massive and massless gravitons is reported up to 4-loop and appears to be unaffected by radiative correction. This result ensures the stability of the linking number between massive and massless gravitons with respect to the local perturbation, a result with potential wider applications in cosmology.
