Quantum Grav. 38 165006. -- This article is corrected by 2021 Class. Quantum Grav. 38 169601Following the same steps made for a scalar field in a parallel publication, we propose a class of perturbative theories of quantum gravity based on fractional operators, where the kinetic operator of the graviton is made of either fractional derivatives or a covariant fractional d'Alembertian. The classical action for each theory is constructed and the equations of motion are derived. Unitarity and renormalizability of theories with a fractional d'Alembertian are also considered. We argue that unitarity and power-counting renormalizability never coexist, although in some cases one-loop unitary and finiteness are possible. One of the theories is unitary and infrared-finite and can serve as a ghost-free model with large-scale modifications of general relativity.The author is supported by the I+D Grants FIS2017-86497-C2-2-P and PID2020-118159GBC41 of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.IOP PublishingAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]2022202220212022info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Postprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/259521reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
