    Newton law in covariant unimodular F(R)F(R) gravity

    We propose a covariant ghost-free unimodular F(R)F(R) gravity theory, which contains a three-form field and study its structure using the analogy of the proposed theory with a quantum system which describes a charged particle in uniform magnetic field. Newton's law in non-covariant unimodular F(R)F(R) gravity as well as in unimodular Einstein gravity is derived and it is shown to be just the same as in General Relativity. The derivation of Newton's law in covariant unimodular F(R)F(R) gravity shows that it is modified precisely in the same way as in the ordinary F(R)F(R) theory. We also demonstrate that the cosmology of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background, is equivalent in the non-covariant and covariant formulations of unimodular F(R)F(R) theory

    Unimodular Gravity and the lepton anomalous magnetic moment at one-loop

    We work out the one-loop contribution to the lepton anomalous magnetic moment coming from Unimodular Gravity. We use Dimensional Regularization and Dimensional Reduction to carry out the computations. In either case, we find that Unimodular Gravity gives rise to the same one-loop correction as that of General Relativity.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
