摘要

We analyze some aspects of the cubic action for gravity recently proposed by Cheung and Remmen, which is a particular instance of a first order (Palatini) action. In this approach both the spacetime metric and the connection are treated as independent fields. We discuss its BRST invariance and compute explicitly the one-loop contribution of quantum fluctuations around flat space, checking that the corresponding Slavnov-Taylor identities are fulfilled. Finally, our results on a first order action are compared with the existing ones corresponding to a second order action.
