Conflict between some higher-order curvature invariant terms

A viable quantum theory does not allow curvature invariant terms of different higher orders to be accommodated in the gravitational action. We show that there is indeed a conflict between the curvature squared and Gauss-Bonnet squared terms from the point of view of hermiticity. This means one shoul...
