Fixed points and infrared completion of quantum gravity

Christiansen, Nicolai, Litim, Daniel F., Pawlowski, Jan M. et al.

Understand

The phase diagram of four-dimensional Einstein-Hilbert gravity is studied using Wilson's renormalization group.

  • Smooth trajectories connecting the ultraviolet fixed point at short distances with attractive infrared fixed points at long distances are derived from the non-perturbative graviton propagator.
  • Implications for the asymptotic safety conjecture and further results are discussed.
