We give a pedagogical introduction to the basic ideas and concepts of the Asymptotic Safety program in Quantum Einstein Gravity. Using the continuum approach based upon the effective average action, we summarize the state of the art of the field with a particular focus on the evidence supporting the existence of the non-trivial renormalization group fixed point at the heart of the construction. As an application, the multifractal structure of the emerging space-times is discussed in detail. In particular, we compare the continuum prediction for their spectral dimension with Monte Carlo data from the Causal Dynamical Triangulation approach.

  1. Tidal Deformation Bounds and Perturbation Transfer in Bounded Curvature Spacetimes

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Bounded tidal fields imply a rigorous limit on accumulated geodesic deviation set by τ* = λ_max^{-1/2} and a critical wavenumber k* ~ τ*^{-1} for perturbation transfer with exponential suppression at high k.

    Quantum deformation of projective phase-space geometry induces a conformally deformed FLRW metric whose time-dependent corrections modify inflationary background equations, slow-roll parameters, and perturbations in a...
