We show that in the quadratic curvature theory of gravity, or simplygravity, the tree-level unitarity bound (tree unitarity) is violated in the UV region but an analog for-matrix unitarityis satisfied. This theory is renormalizable, and hence the failure of tree unitarity is a counter example of Llewellyn Smith’s conjecture on the relation between them. We have recently proposed a new conjecture that-matrix unitarity gives the same conditions as renormalizability. We verify that-matrix unitarity holds in the matter-graviton scattering at the tree level in thegravity, demonstrating our new conjecture.
