Classical and quantum aspects of infinite derivative field theories and infinite derivative gravity

The objective of this thesis is to study classical and quantum aspects of infinite derivative field theories and infinite derivative gravity. In- finite derivative theories of gravity can be made free from ghosts and classical singularities. In order to avoid ghosts, one modifies the graviton propag...
