abstract

The exact renormalization group equation for pure quantum gravity is used to derive the non-perturbative $\Fbeta$-functions for the dimensionless Newton constant and cosmological constant on the theory space spanned by the Einstein-Hilbert truncation. The resulting coupled differential equations are evaluated for a sharp cutoff function. The features of these flow equations are compared to those found when using a smooth cutoff. The system of equations with sharp cutoff is then solved numerically, deriving the complete renormalization group flow of the Einstein-Hilbert truncation in $d=4$. The resulting renormalization group trajectories are classified and their physical relevance is discussed. The non-trivial fixed point which, if present in the exact theory, might render Quantum Einstein Gravity nonperturbatively renormalizable is investigated for various spacetime dimensionalities.

  1. Non-uniqueness of boundary-value problems in Renormalization Group flows

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Boundary-value problems in RG flows are not always unique when the beta-function Jacobian has complex eigenvalues, unlike initial-value problems, with a diagnostic tool and examples in the SM and ASQG.

  2. 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.

  3. Fermions and the Renormalisation Group at Large N

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    At large N, fermionic quantum field theories have exact effective actions depending only on flavour-singlet fermion bilinears, making the local potential approximation exact and yielding new conformal fixed points.

  4. Path integral measure and RG equations for gravity

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    With a corrected path-integral measure and an on-shell running scale, the Einstein-Hilbert truncation of quantum gravity has only the Gaussian fixed point, removing the asymptotic safety fixed point.

  5. Is there ghost and tachyon free bounce in UV complete gravity theory?

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Ghost- and tachyon-free bounces in AID gravity require a negative cosmological constant; known positive-Λ solutions inevitably contain ghost radiation.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In an essential proper-time scheme, gauge dependence of the flow for Newton's constant cancels order-by-order once redundant off-shell terms are absorbed by field redefinitions, leaving a gauge-independent non-Gaussia...

  7. Spectral Functions of Lorentzian Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

    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...

    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.
