We apply the negative dimensional integration method (NDIM) to three outstanding gauges: Feynman, light-cone, and Coulomb gauges. Our aim is to show that NDIM is a very suitable technique to deal with loop integrals, regardless of which gauge choice that originated them. In the Feynman gauge we perf

Quantum gravity coupled to scalar massive matter fields is investigated in the framework of causal perturbation theory using the Epstein Glaser regularizationΓrenormalization scheme. Detailed one-loop calculations include the matter loop graviton self-energy and the matter self-energy. The condition
In the functional integral formalism of quantum field theory a gauge breaking term is added to the classical action in order to parametrize the orbits of the gauge group. I n quantum gravity this gauge breakjng term fixes the orientation of the Riemannian metric with respect to a fixed reference met
