Abstract
Two dimensional dilaton gravity interacting with a four-fermion model and scalars is investigated, all the coefficients of the Lagrangian being arbitrary functions of the dilaton field. The one-loop covariant effective action for 2D dilaton gravity with Majorana spinors (including the four-fermion interaction) is obtained, and the technical problems which appear in an attempt at generalizing such calculations to the case of the most general four-fermion model described by Dirac fermions are discussed. A solution to these problems is found, based on its reduction to the Majorana spinor case. The general covariant effective action for 2D dilaton gravity with the four-fermion model described by Dirac spinors is given. The one-loop renormalization of dilaton gravity with Majorana spinors is carried out and the specific conditions for multiplicative renormalizability are found. A comparison with the same theory but with a classical gravitational field is done.
