Abstract:

The asymptotic fields in a canonically quantized gravitational field with higher derivatives are analyzed. A possible mechanism of the recovery of the physical S-matrix unitarity is discussed.
The constraint ∇µ{Bµν+(β/α)gµνB}=0 due to the Bianchi identity on Rµν is treated by Dirac's method.
