This is a non-perturbative treatment of correlation functions for the weakly coupled massless Gross-Neveu model in a finite volume. The main result is that all correlation functions, treated as distributions, are uniformly bounded in the…

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…

We investigate the ultraviolet behaviour of quantum gravity within a functional renormalisation group approach. The present setup includes the full ghost and graviton propagators and, for the first time, the dynamical graviton three-point…

We revisit Starobinsky inflation in a quantum gravitational context, by means of the exact Renormalisation Group (RG). We calculate the non-perturbative beta functions for Newton's `constant' G and the dimensionless R^2 coupling, and show…
