Fixed points of quantum gravity.
نویسنده
چکیده
Euclidean quantum gravity is studied with renormalization group methods. Analytical results for a nontrivial ultraviolet fixed point are found for arbitrary dimensions and gauge fixing parameters in the Einstein-Hilbert truncation. Implications for quantum gravity in four dimensions are discussed.

Fixed Points of Quantum Gravity and the Renormalisation Group
We review the asymptotic safety scenario for quantum gravity and the role and implications of an underlying ultraviolet fixed point. We discuss renormalisation group techniques employed in the fixed point search, analyse the main picture at the example of the Einstein-Hilbert theory, and provide an overview of the key results in four and higher dimensions. We also compare findings with recent l...
متن کاملFixed points of quantum gravity in higher dimensions
We study quantum gravity in more than four dimensions by means of an exact functional flow. A non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point is found in the Einstein–Hilbert theory. It is shown that our results for the fixed point and universal scaling exponents are stable. If the fixed point persists in extended truncations, quantum gravity in the metric field is asymptotically safe. We indicate physical...
متن کاملOn fixed points of quantum gravity
We study the short distance behaviour of euclidean quantum gravity in the light of Weinberg’s asymptotic safety scenario. Implications of a non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point are reviewed. Based on an optimised renormalisation group, we provide analytical flow equations in the Einstein-Hilbert truncation. A non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point is found for arbitrary dimension. We discuss a bifu...

We study quantum modifications to cosmology in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with and without scalar fields by taking the renormalisation group running of gravitational and matter couplings into account. We exploit the Bianchi identity to relate the renormalisation group scale with scale factor and derive the improved cosmological evolution equations. We find two types of cosmological f...
