Chiral fermions in asymptotically safe quantum gravity
We study the consistency of dynamical fermionic matter with the asymptotic safety scenario of quantum gravity using the functional renormalisation group. Since this scenario suggests strongly coupled quantum gravity in the UV, one expects gravity-induced fermion self-interactions at energies of the Planck scale. These could lead to chiral symmetry breaking at very high energies and thus to larg...
متن کاملFour-derivative interactions in asymptotically safe gravity
We summarize recent progress in understanding the role of higher-derivative terms in the asymptotic safety scenario of gravity. Extending previous computations based on the functional renormalization group approach by including a Weyl-squared term in the ansatz for the effective action, further evidence for the existence of a non-Gaussian fixed point is found. The fixed point also persists upon...
متن کامل3 Dimensionally reduced gravity theories are asymptotically safe
4D Einstein gravity coupled to scalars and abelian gauge fields in its 2-Killing vector reduction is shown to be quasi-renormalizable to all loop orders at the expense of introducing infinitely many essential couplings. The latter can be combined into one or two functions of the ‘area radius’ associated with the two Killing vectors. The renormalization flow of these couplings is governed by bet...
متن کاملLorentzian Gravity and Cosmology
If a material vacuum exists, with the properties of a superfluid through which already recognized material moves, then it is capable of acting as a universal reference frame and as an intermediary for the production of particle pairs throughout the universe, which as they cool and recombine, become the source of both high-and low-temperature cosmic background radiation, as observed. Moreover, i...
متن کاملDiscrete Lorentzian Quantum Gravity
Just as for non-abelian gauge theories at strong coupling, discrete lattice methods are a natural tool in the study of non-perturbative quantum gravity. They have to reflect the fact that the geometric degrees of freedom are dynamical, and that therefore also the lattice theory must be formulated in a background-independent way. After summarizing the status quo of discrete covariant lattice mod...
