Phases ofsimplicial quantum gravity in four dimensions Estimates for the critical exponents
A numerical evaluation of the discrete path integral for pure lattice gravity, with and without higher derivative terms, and using the lattice analog of the DeWitt gravitational measure, shows the existence of a well-behaved ground state for sufficiently strong gravity (G ~ Ge). Close to the continuous critical point separating the smooth from the rough phase of gravity, the critical exponents ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Safety, and Quantum Einstein Gravity∗
These lecture notes provide a pedagogical introduction to a specific continuum implementation of the Wilsonian renormalization group, the effective average action. Its general properties and, in particular, its functional renormalization group equation are explained in a simple scalar setting. The approach is then applied to Quantum Einstein Gravity (QEG). The possibility of constructing a fund...
متن کاملCritical Behavior in Simplicial Quantum Gravity
Four-dimensional quantum gravity is a complex theory due to the unboundedness of the pure gravitational action, its non-renormalizability and non-polynomial nature 1. We will concentrate here on the simplicial formulation of quantum gravity also known as Regge calculus (for a review, see refs. 2,3). One of the advantages of the approach lies in the fact that it can be formulated in any space-ti...
متن کاملImpact of topology in foliated quantum Einstein gravity
We use a functional renormalization group equation tailored to the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formulation of gravity to study the scale dependence of Newton's coupling and the cosmological constant on a background spacetime with topology [Formula: see text]. The resulting beta functions possess a non-trivial renormalization group fixed point, which may provide the high-energy completion of the theor...
متن کاملRenormalization and asymptotic safety in truncated quantum Einstein gravity
A perturbative quantum theory of the 2-Killing vector reduction of general relativity is constructed. Although non-renormalizable in the standard sense, we show that to all orders of the loop expansion strict cut-off independence can be achieved in a space of Lagrangians differing only by a field dependent conformal factor. In particular the Noether currents and the quantum constraints can be d...
