Abstract:
The structure of counterterms in higher derivative quantum gravity is reexamined. Nontrivial dependence of charges on the gauge and parametrization is established. Explicit calculations of two-loop contributions are carried out with the help of the generalized renormgroup method demonstrating consistency of the results obtained.
