Abstract
The non-local one-loop contribution to the gravitational effective act ion around De Sitter space is computed using the background field meth od with pure trace external gravitational fields and it is shown to va nish. The calculation is performed in a generic covariant gauge and th e result is verified to be gauge invariant.
