Frame Transformations of Gravitational Theories    [PDF]

Xavier Calmet, Ting-Cheng Yang

We show how to map gravitational theories formulated in the Jordan frame to the Einstein frame at the quantum field theoretical level within the semi-classical approximation. As an example, we consider gravitational theories in the Jordan frame of the type F(\phi,R)=f(\phi)R-V(\phi) and show how to map them to the Einstein frame. Our results can easily be extended to any gravitational theory.
