We provide a derivation of the Einstein Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) based on our Quantum Field Theory (QFT) of the masseon and graviton particles called ElectroMagnetic Quantum Gravity (EMQG, ref. 1). EMQG provides a framework for…
In the asymptotic safety programme for quantum gravity, it is important to go beyond polynomial truncations. Three such approximations have been derived where the restriction is only to a general function f(R) of the curvature R>0. We…
When general relativity is augmented by quadratic gravity terms, it becomes a renormalisable theory of gravity. This theory may admit a non-Gaussian fixed point as envisaged in the asymptotic safety program, rendering the theory trustworthy…
We compute the effective potential for scalar fields in asymptotically safe quantum gravity. A scaling potential and other scaling functions generalize the fixed point values of renormalizable couplings. The scaling potential takes a…
Gravitational instantons with NUT charge are magnetic monopoles upon dimensional reduction. We determine whether NUT charge can proliferate via the Polyakov mechanism and partially screen gravitational interactions. In semiclassical…
There ought to exist a reformulation of quantum theory which does not depend on classical time. To achieve such a reformulation, we introduce the concept of an atom of space-time-matter (STM). An STM atom is a classical non-commutative…
Proper time functional flow equations have garnered significant attention in recent years, as they are particularly suitable in analyzing non-perturbative contexts. By resorting to this flow, we investigate the regulator and gauge…
The cosmological propagation of tensor perturbations is studied in the context of parity-violating extensions of the symmetric teleparallel equivalent of General Relativity theory. This non-Riemannian formulation allows for a wider variety…
We discuss the semi-classical gravitational wave corrections to Gauss's law, and obtain an explicit solution for the electromagnetic potential. The Gravitational Wave perturbs the Coulomb potential with a function which propagates to the…
Recently, Bonanno et al. (2024) presented an explicit metric describing the exterior of a collapsing dust ball within the framework of asymptotically safe gravity. Based on this metric, we investigate in detail the properties of the…
New general spherically symmetric solutions have been derived with a cosmological "constant" \Lambda as a source. This \Lambda field is not constant but it satisfies the properties of the asymptotically safe gravity at the ultraviolet fixed…
Inhomogeneous Nelson's diffusion in flat spacetime with a tensor of diffusion can be described as a homogeneous one in a Riemannian manifold with this tensor of diffusion as a metric tensor. The influence of matter to the energy density of…
It is expected that the quantum nature of spacetime leaves its imprint in all semiclassical gravitational systems, at least in certain regimes, including gravitational waves. In this paper we investigate such imprints on gravitational waves…
We analyse our recently proposed experiment to witness indirectly non-commuting degrees of freedom in gravity, in the light of the analogy between the electromagnetic and the gravitational field. We thereby identify the non-commuting…
We study quantum gravity in more than four dimensions with renormalisation group methods. We find a non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point in the Einstein-Hilbert action. The fixed point connects with the perturbative infrared domain through…
As is well known, there exist some Lorentz breaking scenarios which explain the smallness of the cosmological constant in the present era. An important aspect to analyze is the propagation of gravitational waves and the screening or…
We compute the asymptotic safety landscape stemming from ultraviolet-complete photon-graviton flows in a field theoretic setup, and we confront it with the weak gravity conjecture and, for the first time, with positivity bounds. At fourth…
A tensor description of perturbative Einsteinian gravity about an arbitrary background spacetime is developed. By analogy with the covariant laws of electromagnetism in spacetime, gravito-electromagnetic potentials and fields are defined to…
Conventional scattering theory is incomplete in that it does not adequately describe the behaviour of the wave function at macroscopic distances from the scattering reaction volume. In scattering experiments particles are incident from…
In a previous article we have show that there are difficulties in obtaining the correct graviton propagator from the loop-quantum-gravity dynamics defined by the Barrett-Crane vertex amplitude. Here we show that a vertex amplitude that…
