Singularity Theorems in the Effective Field Theory for Quantum Gravity at Second Order in Curvature

In this paper, we discuss singularity theorems in quantum gravity using effective field theory methods. To second order in curvature, the effective field theory contains two new degrees of freedom which have important implications for the derivation of these theorems: a massive spin-2 field and a ma...
