Asymptotic Safety, and Quantum Einstein Gravity∗
These lecture notes provide a pedagogical introduction to a specific continuum implementation of the Wilsonian renormalization group, the effective average action. Its general properties and, in particular, its functional renormalization group equation are explained in a simple scalar setting. The approach is then applied to Quantum Einstein Gravity (QEG). The possibility of constructing a fund...
متن کاملLiouville gravity from Einstein gravity
We show that Liouville gravity arises as the limit of pure Einstein gravity in 2+ ε dimensions as ε goes to zero, provided Newton’s constant scales with ε. Our procedure – spherical reduction, dualization, limit, dualizing back – passes several consistency tests: geometric properties, interactions with matter and the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy are as expected from Einstein gravity.

متن کاملBimetric Truncations for Quantum Einstein Gravity and Asymptotic Safety
In the average action approach to the quantization of gravity the fundamental requirement of “background independence” is met by actually introducing a background metric but leaving it completely arbitrary. The associated Wilsonian renormalization group defines a coarse graining flow on a theory space of functionals which, besides the dynamical metric, depend explicitly on the background metric...
متن کاملOn the Renormalization of truncated Quantum Einstein Gravity
The perturbative renormalizability of the 2-Killing vector reduction of general relativity is investigated. Although non-renormalizable in the standard sense, we show that to all orders of the loop expansion strict cut-off independence can be regained in a space of Lagrangians differing only by a field dependent conformal factor. In particular the Noether currents and the quantum constraints ca...
متن کاملExact Relation between Einstein and Quadratic Quantum Gravity
We show the exact equality of the path integral of the general renormalizable fourth order gravitational action to the path integral of the Einstein action coupled to a massive spin-0 field and a massive spin-2 ghost-like field with non-polynomial interactions. The metric in the Einstein version is a highly nonlinear function of the metric in the quadratic version. Both massive excitations are ...
