The Lee-Wick Fields out of Gravity
arXiv:0705.3287 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2007.11.082
Abstract
We study the Maxwell-Einstein theory in the framework of effective field theories. We show that the modified one-loop renormalizable Lagrangian due to quantum gravitational effects contains a Lee-Wick vector field as an extra degree of freedom in the theory. Thus gravity provides a natural mechanism for the emergence of this exotic particle.
