UV-completion of gravity within QFT

Central ingredient: fixed point of renormalization group flow

β-functions vanish at fixed point {g∗

i }:

  • RG flow can “end” at a fixed point keeping limk→∞ gk = g∗ finite!
  • trajectory has no unphysical UV divergences
  • well-defined continuum limit
  • 2 classes of RG trajectories:
  • relevant

=

end at FP in UV

  • irrelevant

=

go somewhere else...

  • predictive power:
  • number of relevant directions

= free parameters (determine experimentally)

RG-improved including Λk with Λ0 = 0

  • Λk crucially influences structure of light black holes

Inclusion of Λk prevents remnant formation

Asymptotic Safety Program

Gravitational RG flows:

  • strong evidence for a non-Gaussian fixed point:
  • predictive: finite number of relevant parameters
  • connected to classical gravity

Asymptotic Safety Program

Gravitational RG flows:

  • strong evidence for a non-Gaussian fixed point:
  • predictive: finite number of relevant parameters
  • connected to classical gravity

Asymptotically Safe black holes:

  • RG improved Schwarzschild black holes
  • black hole singularity replaced by de Sitter patch
  • formation of black hole remnants
  • RG improved black holes including cosmological constant
  • microscopic structure: Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole
  • no formation of black hole remnants
  • quantum singularity related to dynamical dimensional reduction?
