Description
Recent work in the literature has studied a new set of local boundary conditions for the quantized gravitational field, where the spatial components of metric perturbations, and ghost modes, are subject to Robin boundary conditions, whereas normal components of metric perturbations obey Dirichlet boundary conditions. Such boundary conditions are here applied to evaluate the one-loop divergence on a portion of flat Euclidean four-space bounded by two concentric three-spheres.
