Deskripsi
In this paper we consider a static and regular fluid generating a locally spherically symmetric and time-independent space-time and calculate the leading quantum corrections to the metric to first order in curvature. Starting from a singularity free classical solution of general relativity, we show that singularities can be introduced in the curvature invariants by quantum gravitational corrections calculated using an effective field theory approach to quantum gravity. We identify non-trivial conditions that ensure that curvature invariants remain singularity free to leading order in the curvature expansion of the effective action.
