Leading Quantum Correction to the Newtonian Potential

John F. Donoghue

TL;DR

It is argued that the leading quantum corrections, in powers of the energy or inverse power of the distance, may be computed in quantum gravity through knowledge of only the low-energy structure of the theory.

Abstract

I argue that the leading quantum corrections, in powers of the energy or inverse powers of the distance, may be computed in quantum gravity through knowledge of only the low energy structure of the theory. As an example, I calculate the leading quantum corrections to the Newtonian gravitational potential.
