Transformation Properties of Linearized de Sitter Gravity Solutions
Abstract
Description
The effect of de Sitter transformations on Tsamis and Woodard's solutions to the linearized gauge fixed equations of motion of quantum gravity in a de Sitter space background is worked out explicitly. It is shown that these solutions are closed under the transformations of the de Sitter group. To do this it is necessary to use a compensating gauge transformation to return the transformed solution to the original gauge.
