Investigating the Ultraviolet Properties of Gravity with a W(3)

时间:2025-07-10

We review and extend in several directions recent results on the asymptotic safety approach to quantum gravity. The central issue in this approach is the search of a Fixed Point having suitable properties, and the tool that is used is a type of Wilsonian r
