Description

<jats:p>We formulate a model for quantum gravity based on the local Lorentz symmetry and general-coordinate invariance. A key idea is the irreversible vierbein postulate that a tree-level action for the model at a certain energy scale does not contain an inverse vierbein. Under this postulate, only the spinor becomes a dynamical field, and no gravitational background field is introduced in the tree-level action. In this paper, after explaining the transformation rules of the local Lorentz and general-coordinate transformations in detail, a tree-level action is defined. We show that fermionic fluctuations can induce a nonvanishing gravitational background field.</jats:p> <jats:sec> <jats:title/> <jats:supplementary-material> <jats:permissions> <jats:copyright-statement>Published by the American Physical Society</jats:copyright-statement> <jats:copyright-year>2024</jats:copyright-year> </jats:permissions> </jats:supplementary-material> </jats:sec>
