Hořava gravity at a Lifshitz point: A progress report

A Wang - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2017 - World Scientific
Hořava's quantum gravity at a Lifshitz point is a theory intended to quantize gravity by using
traditional quantum field theories. To avoid Ostrogradsky's ghosts, a problem that has been …

[BOOK][B] An introduction to covariant quantum gravity and asymptotic safety

R Percacci - 2017 - books.google.com
This book covers recent developments in the covariant formulation of quantum gravity.
Developed in the 1960s by Feynman and DeWitt, by the 1980s this approach seemed to …

Renormalization of Hořava gravity

AO Barvinsky, D Blas, M Herrero-Valea, SM Sibiryakov… - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We prove perturbative renormalizability of projectable Hořava gravity. The key element of
the argument is the choice of a gauge which ensures the correct anisotropic scaling of the …

Cancellation of divergences in the nonprojectable Hořava theory

J Bellorín, C Bórquez, B Droguett - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We perform an analysis of the ultraviolet divergences of the quantum nonprojectable Hořava
gravity. We work the quantum-field theory directly in the Hamiltonian formalism provided by …

[HTML][HTML] Asymptotically safe inflation from quadratic gravity

A Bonanno, A Platania - Physics Letters B, 2015 - Elsevier
Asymptotically Safe theories of gravity have recently received much attention. In this work we
discuss a class of inflationary models derived from quantum-gravity modification of quadratic …

Towards the renormalization group flow of Hořava gravity in dimensions

AO Barvinsky, M Herrero-Valea, SM Sibiryakov - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We compute the renormalization group running of the Newton constant and the parameter λ
in (3+ 1)-dimensional projectable Hořava gravity. We use the background-field method …

Hořava Gravity is Asymptotically Free in Dimensions

AO Barvinsky, D Blas, M Herrero-Valea, SM Sibiryakov… - Physical review …, 2017 - APS
We compute the β functions of marginal couplings in projectable Hořava gravity in 2+ 1
spacetime dimensions. We show that the renormalization group flow has an asymptotically …

[HTML][HTML] Cosmological bounds on the field content of asymptotically safe gravity–matter models

A Bonanno, A Platania, F Saueressig - Physics Letters B, 2018 - Elsevier
We use the non-Gaussian fixed points (NGFPs) appearing in the renormalization group flow
of gravity and gravity–matter systems to construct models of NGFP-driven inflation via a …

Towards a unitary, renormalizable, and ultraviolet-complete quantum theory of gravity

CF Steinwachs - Frontiers in Physics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
For any fundamental quantum field theory, unitarity, renormalizability, and relativistic
invariance are considered to be essential properties. Unitarity is inevitably connected to the …

Asymptotic freedom in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

G D'Odorico, F Saueressig, M Schutten - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
We use the Wetterich equation for foliated spacetimes to study the renormalization group
flow of projectable Hořava-Lifshitz gravity coupled to n Lifshitz scalars. Using novel results …
