The nonperturbative functional renormalization group and its applications

N Dupuis, L Canet, A Eichhorn, W Metzner… - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both
conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of …

Critical reflections on asymptotically safe gravity

A Bonanno, A Eichhorn, H Gies, JM Pawlowski… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Asymptotic safety is a theoretical proposal for the ultraviolet completion of quantum field
theories, in particular for quantum gravity. Significant progress on this program has led to a …

An asymptotically safe guide to quantum gravity and matter

A Eichhorn - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Asymptotic safety generalizes asymptotic freedom and could contribute to understanding
physics beyond the Standard Model. It is a candidate scenario to provide an ultraviolet …

Lorentzian quantum gravity and the graviton spectral function

J Fehre, DF Litim, JM Pawlowski, M Reichert - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We present the first direct and nonperturbative computation of the graviton spectral function
in quantum gravity. This is achieved with the help of a novel Lorentzian renormalization …

Quantum gravity: a fluctuating point of view

JM Pawlowski, M Reichert - Frontiers in Physics, 2021 - frontiersin.org
In this contribution, we discuss the asymptotic safety scenario for quantum gravity with a
functional renormalization group approach that disentangles dynamical metric fluctuations …

A critique of the asymptotic safety program

JF Donoghue - Frontiers in Physics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
The present practice of Asymptotic Safety in gravity is in conflict with explicit calculations in
low energy quantum gravity. This raises the question of whether the present practice meets …

Nonperturbative properties of Yang–Mills theories

MQ Huber - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
Yang–Mills theories are an important building block of the standard model and in particular
of quantum chromodynamics. Its correlation functions describe the behavior of its …

Asymptotic safety of gravity with matter

A Eichhorn, M Schiffer - Handbook of Quantum Gravity, 2023 - Springer
The asymptotic-safety paradigm posits that the symmetry of quantum theories of gravity and
matter is enhanced to quantum scale symmetry, ie, scale symmetry in the presence of …

Aspects of asymptotic safety for quantum gravity

KG Falls, DF Litim, J Schröder - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We study fixed points of quantum gravity with renormalization group methods and a
procedure to remove convergence-limiting poles from the flow. The setup is tested within the …

Reconstructing the graviton

A Bonanno, T Denz, JM Pawlowski, M Reichert - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
We reconstruct the Lorentzian graviton propagator in asymptotically safe quantum gravity
from Euclidean data. The reconstruction is applied to both the dynamical fluctuation graviton …
