Asymptotic Safety constitutes a promising mechanism for a consistent and predictive high-energy completion of the gravitational interactions. To date, most results on the interacting renormalization group fixed point underlying the construction are obtained for Euclidean signature spacetimes. In this work, we use the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) decomposition of the metric degrees of freedom and investigate the relations between the Euclidean and Lorentzian renormalization group flows resulting from the analytic continuation of the lapse function. We discuss the general conditions which guarantee the equivalence of the beta functions. These insights are illustrated based on the flow of the graviton two-point function within the Einstein-Hilbert truncation, demonstrating agreement of the Euclidean and Lorentzian settings. Hence the UV- and IR-completions identified in the Euclidean case are robust when changing spacetime signature. We take this as an important indicator that the Euclidean asymptotic safety mechanism carries over to Lorentzian signature spacetimes.

  1. The fermion sector of the SMEFT from asymptotically safe gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a toy model of one quark generation, asymptotically safe gravity predicts four-fermion SMEFT coefficients are either Planck-scale suppressed or zero, with exceptions only at very large gravitational coupling.

  2. Renormalization group flows in area-metric gravity

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The first renormalization group analysis of area-metric gravity shows shape-mismatching masses grow toward the infrared, parity is not emergent, and the Immirzi parameter flow has fixed points at γ=0 and γ=∞.

  3. De Sitter quantum gravity within the covariant Lorentzian approach to asymptotic safety

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Scaling solutions for gauge invariant flow equations in dilaton quantum gravity

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scaling solutions of a gauge-invariant functional flow equation support the dilaton quantum gravity fixed point, with Planck mass ~ φ² at large field and a stable negative kinetial in the infrared.

  5. Regulator and gauge dependence of the Abelian gauge coupling in asymptotically safe quantum gravity

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The existence of an asymptotically safe UV completion for the Abelian gauge coupling is shown to survive simultaneous variations of the regulator and gauge parameters in certain minimal-sensitivity regions.

  6. Self-consistent graviton spectral function in Lorentzian quantum gravity

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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).

  7. Matter Spectral Functions from Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

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

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An exact, polynomial flow equation for the S-matrix generating functional of a scalar field, equivalent to the Polchinski/Wetterich flows under a change of variables, with on-shell extraction at the classical equation...
