Resummations for inflationary quantum gravity
The continual production of gravitons during inflation endows loop corrections with secular logarithms which grow nonperturbatively large during a prolonged period of inflation. The physics behind these effects is reviewed, along with a catalog of the examples which have so far been found. Resummation can be accomplished by combining a variant of Starobinsky’s stochastic formalism with a variant of the renormalization group. The issue of gauge independence is also addressed.
