A spatial variant of the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) is introduced on (Lorentzian signature) globally hyperbolic spacetimes. Through its perturbative expansion it is argued that such a FRG must inevitably be state dependent and that it should be based on a Hadamard state. A concrete implementation is presented for scalar quantum fields on flat Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre spacetimes. The universal ultraviolet behavior of Hadamard states allows the flow to be matched to the one-loop renormalized flow (where strict removal of the ultraviolet cutoff requires a tower of potentials, one for each power of the Ricci scalar). The state-dependent infrared behavior of the flow is investigated for States of Low Energy, which are Hadamard states deemed to be viable vacua for a pre-inflationary period. A simple time-dependent infrared fixed point equation (resembling that in Minkowski space) arises for any scale factor, with analytically computable corrections coding the non-perturbative ramifications of the Hadamard property in the infrared.

De Sitter quantum gravity within the covariant Lorentzian approach to asymptotic safety
In the Einstein-Hilbert truncation on de Sitter, the Lorentzian FRG flow exhibits a non-Gaussian UV fixed point for ζ=1/2 and ζ=1 gauges over restricted parameter ranges.

Renormalisation Group approach to General Relativity
An exact RG equation for classical gravity is proposed that reproduces the PM expansion and recovers the 1PN two-body action without explicit three-graviton vertices.

Impact of quantum gravity on the UV sensitivity of extremal black holes
Asymptotically safe quantum gravity predicts a positive Goroff-Sagnotti Wilson coefficient at the Planck scale, which would keep extremal Kerr black hole tidal forces finite, but the paper's bound on the quantum gravi...

Self-consistent graviton spectral function in Lorentzian quantum gravity
A self-consistent spectral renormalisation group computation yields a positive, normalizable graviton spectral function with a massless pole and a multi-graviton continuum decaying as 1/(λ² log³ λ²).

Matter Spectral Functions from Quantum Gravity
Under asymptotically safe quantum gravity, photon and scalar propagators acquire Källén-Lehmann spectral functions that are non-normalizable and change sign in the ultraviolet.

The one-loop effective action from the coherent state path integral of loop quantum gravity
The one-loop effective action from the LQG coherent state path integral is computed and found to be UV-finite, with the dynamical area j0 > 0 at the quantum level.
