Global flows in quantum gravity

PIRSA:14040100

In this talk I present recent work on complete UV-IR flows for the fully momentum-dependent propagator, RG-consistent vertices, Newtons coupling and the cosmological constant. For the first time, a global phase diagram is obtained where the non-Gaussian ultraviolet fixed point of asymptotic safety is connected via smooth trajectories to an infrared fixed point with classical scaling. Physics implications as well as the extension to gauge-matter-gravity systems are discussed.
Grassmann tensor network renormalization and fermionic topological quantum field theory: a new route towards quantum gravity

Recently, the development of tensor network renormalization approach has provided us a powerful tool to construct new classes of topological quantum field theories(TQFTs) in discrete space-time. For example, the Turaev Viro’s states sum constructions are fixed point tensor networks representing a special class of 2+1D TQFTs. Interestingly, the Grassmann variable generalization of tensor network renormalization approach leads to new classes of TQFTs for interacting fermion systems, namely, the fermionic TQFTs. In this talk, I will start with a fermionic topological nonlinear sigma model and discuss its corresponding new mathematics - group super-cohomology theory. Then I will explain the fermionic generalization of Dijkgraaf -Witten gauge theory by using group supercohomology theory. Finally I will show examples beyond fermionic Dijkgraaf -Witten gauge theory and discuss possible new routes towards quantum gravity.

The many-building-blocks limit of spin foam models remains to be an open question. The complexity of these models makes the analysis of their possible continuum phases a very difficult task. In the last years progress in this direction has been made by considering simplified, yet featured-rich, analog models to spin foams, the so-called spin net models. These models retain the main dynamical ingredient of spin foams, namely the simplicity constraints. In this talk we will introduce spin net models based on the quantum group SU(2)_q, and we will review the use of tensor network renormalization group techniques to study their coarse graining. We will analyze the resulting phase diagram, which interestingly displays a rich structure of fixed points. Furthermore we will discuss the relation of spin nets with spin foams.

An attempt is made to define "lines of contant physics" in CDT and relate the corresponding picture to non-trivial UV fixed points as they appear in the asymptotic safety scenario.
Asymptotic safety in a pure matrix model

The connection between two-dimensional Euclidean gravity and pure matrix models has lead to may fundamental insights about quantum gravity and string theory. The pure matrix model is thus a blueprint for the connection between discrete models and Euclidean quantum gravity. I will report on work with Astrid Eichhorn in which this "blueprint" model is investigated with the functional renormalization group. In this model, I will discuss the questions: "What is a possible meaning of asymptotic safety in a discrete model?" and "Is it possible to apply the FRGE to tensor models?
Conformal Standard Model

I will describe a proposal of an enlargement of the Standard Model based on a softly broken conformal symmetry. It contains the usual particles of the SM with right-chiral neutrinos and predicts two new particles: a scalar mixing with the usual Higgs and a naturally weakly coupled axion. I will argue that the Planck scale should be treated as a real physical scale and discuss the hierarchy problem and renormalization from this point of view. I will show that the model does not need any intermediate scales and can be viable up to the Planck scale (in distiction to the Standard Model). I will present experimental predictions of the model.

Two aspects of asymptotic safety are highlighted. First, I discuss how asymptotic safety can be tested with the help of a bootstrap strategy. This is then applied to high-order polynomial actions of the Ricci scalar and beyond. Second, I discuss how phenomenological signatures of asymptotic safety can be searched for at particle colliders such as the LHC, provided that the quantum gravity scale is in the TeV energy regime.
