We discuss the exact renormalization group or flow equation for the effective action and its decomposition into one particle irreducible N point functions. With the help of a truncated flow equation for the four point function we study the bound state problem for scalar fields. A combination of analytic and numerical methods is proposed, which is applied to the Wick-Cutkosky model and a QCD-motivated interaction. We present results for the bound state masses and the Bethe-Salpeter wave function. (Figs. 1-4 attached as separate uuencoded post-script files.)

  1. Spectral Functions of Lorentzian Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Spectral functions for graviton and scalar graviton modes are derived in Lorentzian asymptotically safe quantum gravity via adapted FRG flow equations, yielding normalisable results consistent with infrared effective theory.

  2. Asymptotically Safe Gravitational Form Factors from the Proper-Time Flow Equation

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Asymptotically safe gravitational form factors are obtained by integrating the proper-time flow to k=0; finite cutoff-independent results with 1/q² UV decay require selecting the non-Gaussian fixed point as UV boundar...

  3. Emergence of dynamical tensor fields in composite models of gravity

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Auxiliary tensor fields in composite gravity models acquire dynamical kinetic terms via FRG flows, reproducing the transverse-traceless quadratic Einstein-Hilbert structure in the spin-2 sector.

  4. Towards theory constraints on ultralight dark matter from quantum gravity

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In asymptotically safe gravity, dimension-five couplings of ultralight scalar dark matter to gauge field strengths vanish and are not generated perturbatively.

  5. $CP$ phase structure of QCD from functional renormalization group

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    FRG study of QCD-like theories finds the CP-violating four-fermion operator becomes relevant in the chirally broken phase when the gauge coupling runs, while finite quark mass strongly suppresses infrared running of t...
