Résumé

We consider four-dimensional quadratic gravity coupled to infinite towers of free massive scalar fields, Weyl fermions and vector bosons. We find that for specific numbers of towers, finite cosmological and Newton constants are induced in the 1-loop effective action. This is derived both in Adler's approach and by using the heat kernel method, which yield identical results. If the infinite number of massive states may be regarded as Kaluza–Klein modes arising from fields in higher dimensions, there are no Kaluza–Klein states associated with the four-dimensional graviton. Hence gravity is intrinsically four-dimensional.
