Hořava gravity at a Lifshitz point: A progress report

A Wang - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2017 - World Scientific
Hořava's quantum gravity at a Lifshitz point is a theory intended to quantize gravity by using
traditional quantum field theories. To avoid Ostrogradsky's ghosts, a problem that has been …

Form Factors in Asymptotic Safety: conceptual ideas and computational toolbox

B Knorr, C Ripken, F Saueressig - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Over the last years the asymptotic safety program has matured into a serious candidate for a
quantum theory of gravity compatible with observations. The rapid technical progress in …

Upper bound on the Abelian gauge coupling from asymptotic safety

A Eichhorn, F Versteegen - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We explore the impact of asymptotically safe quantum gravity on the Abelian gauge
coupling in a model including a charged scalar, confirming indications that asymptotically …

Renormalization group fixed points of foliated gravity-matter systems

J Biemans, A Platania, F Saueressig - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We employ the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism to study the renormalization group
flow of gravity minimally coupled to an arbitrary number of scalar, vector, and Dirac fields …

Generalized parametrization dependence in quantum gravity

H Gies, B Knorr, S Lippoldt - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We critically examine the gauge and field-parametrization dependence of renormalization
group flows in the vicinity of non-Gaußian fixed points in quantum gravity. While physical …

Quantum gravity on foliated spacetimes: Asymptotically safe and sound

J Biemans, A Platania, F Saueressig - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
Asymptotic safety provides a mechanism for constructing a consistent and predictive
quantum theory of gravity valid on all length scales. Its key ingredient is a non-Gaussian …

Asymptotically safe f (R)-gravity coupled to matter I: the polynomial case

N Alkofer, F Saueressig - Annals of Physics, 2018 - Elsevier
We use the functional renormalization group equation for the effective average action to
study the non-Gaussian renormalization group fixed points (NGFPs) arising within the …

Viability of quantum-gravity induced ultraviolet completions for matter

A Eichhorn, A Held - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We highlight how the existence of an ultraviolet completion for interacting standard-model
type matter puts constraints on the viable microscopic dynamics of asymptotically safe …

Global flows in quantum gravity

N Christiansen, B Knorr, JM Pawlowski, A Rodigast - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We study four-dimensional quantum gravity using nonperturbative renormalization group
methods. We solve the corresponding equations for the fully momentum-dependent …

Non-minimal coupling in Higgs–Yukawa model with asymptotically safe gravity

K Oda, M Yamada - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the fixed-point structure of the Higgs–Yukawa model, with its scalar being non-
minimally coupled to the asymptotically safe gravity, using the functional renormalization …
