Graviton density-family independence conjecture for perturbative amplitudes
Let be the Minkowski background metric and let be the spacetime metric. For , define the graviton density family by
It interpolates between the graviton field at and the graviton density at .
Graviton density-family conjecture. The perturbative expansion with respect to depends on only through the external-leg structure. Consequently, the corresponding Feynman integrals and Ward identities are equivalent for all , modulo transformations on the external graviton legs of the amplitudes.
The claim would make the choice of tensor-density weight irrelevant to internal perturbative dynamics, while allowing the external graviton-field parametrization to change. The source says that first propagator calculations suggest this statement and gives no resolution evidence.
