Description

In quantum gravity, there is a huge freedom in constructing effective actions since they depend on a choice of gauge and field parameterisation. In this talk, I will discuss an approach to constructing effective actions for gauge-invariant fields. Moreover, I will discuss recent progress in understanding when two effective actions are physically equivalent. Some consequences for quantum gravity will be sketched.
