We recalculate the beta functions of higher derivative gravity in four dimensions using the one--loop approximation to an Exact Renormalization Group Equation. We reproduce the beta functions of the dimensionless couplings that were known…
Nonassociative modifications of general relativity, GR, defined by star products with R-flux deformations in string gravity consist of an important subclass of modified gravity theories, MGTs. A longstanding criticism for elaborating…
We investigate the reliability of the large $N_f$ expansion of four-dimensional gauge-fermion quantum field theories, focusing on the structure and scheme dependence of the beta function. While the existence of a nontrivial UV fixed point…
Based on some recent progress on a relation between four dimensional super Yang-Mills gauge theory and quantum integrable system, we study the asymptotic spectrum of the quantum mechanical problems described by the Mathieu equation and the…
The infinite dimensional generalization of the quantum mechanics of extended objects, namely, the quantum field theory of extended objects is employed to address the hitherto nonrenormalizable gravitational interaction following which the…
Realizing a quantum theory for gravity based on Asymptotic Safety hinges on the existence of a non-Gaussian fixed point of the theory's renormalization group flow. In this work, we use the functional renormalization group equation for the…
Asymptotic Safety, based on a non-Gaussian fixed point of the gravitational renormalization group flow, provides an elegant mechanism for completing the gravitational force at sub-Planckian scales. At high energies the fixed point controls…
We calculate the spectral dimension for nonperturbative quantum gravity defined via Euclidean dynamical triangulations. We find that it runs from a value of ~3/2 at short distance to ~4 at large distance scales, similar to results from…
The purpose of this Chapter is to give a general introduction and status review on the perturbative approach to quantum gravity (QG). This text is a modified version of the corresponding chapters of Part II of the recent textbook on quantum…
We develop a perturbation theory of four-dimensional topological 2-form gravity without cosmological constant. A 2-form and an $SU(2)$ connection 1-form are used as fundamental variables instead of metric. There is no quantum correction…
Quantum gravity is investigated in the limit of a large number of space-time dimensions, using as an ultraviolet regularization the simplicial lattice path integral formulation. In the weak field limit the appropriate expansion parameter is…
We find considerable evidence supporting the conjecture that four-dimensional Quantum Einstein Gravity is ``asymptotically safe'' in Weinberg's sense. This would mean that the theory is likely to be nonperturbatively renormalizable and thus…
We discuss the conceptual ideas underlying the Asymptotic Safety approach to the nonperturbative renormalization of gravity. By now numerous functional renormalization group studies predict the existence of a suitable nontrivial ultraviolet…
We develop a variational framework for addressing two-dimensional non-integrable quantum field theories through the exact structure of their integrable counterparts. Concentrating on the $\varphi^4$ Landau-Ginzburg model, we use the…
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…
The theory of gravity with an auxiliary extra dimension is known to give the ghost-free cubic completion of the Fierz-Pauli mass term in the decoupling limit. Our work generalizes the boundary condition in the auxiliary dimension that…
The asymptotic safety program assumes that quantum gravity becomes renormalizable through ultraviolet fixed points in metric-based couplings. We demonstrate that this approach {encounters fundamental symmetry violations} across multiple…
We discuss the renormalization of Einstein-Hilbert's gravity in $d=2+\epsilon$ dimensions. We show that the application of the path-integral approach leads naturally to scheme- and gauge-independent results on-shell, but also gives a…
Asymptotic expansions are presented for the moments of bound states in one-dimensional anharmonic potentials. The results are derived by using the SAFE method and include only the first non-zero wave-related correction to the familiar…
In this paper, I emphasize those features of the extended phase space approach to quantization of gravity that distinguish it among other approaches. First of all, it is the conjecture about non-trivial topology of the Universe which was…
