Gravitational counterterms in an axial gauge

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5144900
All the counterterms of quantum Einstein gravity are calculated up to bilinear terms and one-loop order in an axial gauge as a sum of gauge-invariant and the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-invariant terms. Contrary to the de Donder gauge condition, ten out of thirty-three coefficients for counterterms remain undetermined in this gauge. Some relations among the counterterms, which satisfy the BRS invariance, are implicitly obtained in the course of the calculations.
