The asymptotic safety scenario in quantum gravity: an introduction
Open accessAbstract
The asymptotic safety scenario in quantum gravity is reviewed, according to which a renormalizable quantum theory of the gravitational field is feasible which reconciles asymptotically safe couplings with unitarity. All presently known evidence is surveyed: (a) from the 2 + expansion, (b) from the perturbation theory of higher derivative gravity theories and a ‘large N ’ expansion in the number of matter fields, (c) from the 2-Killing vector reduction and (d) from truncated flow equations for the effective average action. Special emphasis is given to the role of perturbation theory as a guide to ‘asymptotic safety’. Furthermore it is argued that as a consequence of the scenario the self-interactions appear two dimensional in the extreme ultraviolet. Two appendices discuss the distinct roles of the ultraviolet renormalization in perturbation theory and in the flow equation formalism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
