The Affine-Metric Quantum Gravity with Extra Local Symmetries
We discuss the role of additional local symmetries related to the
transformations of connection fields in the affine-metric theory of gravity.
The corresponding BRST transformations connected with all symmetries (general
coordinate, local Lorentz and extra) are constructed. It is shown, that extra
symmetries give the additional contribution to effective action which is
proportional to the corresponding Nielsen-Kallosh ghost one. Some arguments are
given, that there is no anomaly associated with extra local symmetries.Comment: 14 pages in LATEX (The version of paper accepted for publication in

Projective Invariance and One-Loop Effective Action in Affine-Metric Gravity Interacting with Scalar Field
We investigate the influence of the projective invariance on the
renormalization properties of the theory. One-loop counterterms are calculated
in the most general case of interaction of gravity with scalar field.Comment: 10 pages, LATE
