Non-local quantum effects in cosmology – John Donoghue

In general relativity, there are non-local quantum effects that come from the propagation of light particles including gravitons. I will review the effective field theory treatment which allows one to identify the reliable parts of the quantum loops. In cosmology, there are then non-local corrections to the FLRW equations. I will present some of the formalism for this and give some exploration of results.
