Consistent closure of renormalization group flow equations in quantum gravity
arXiv:1304.4777 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.89.081701
Abstract
We construct a consistent closure for the beta functions of the cosmological and Newton's constants by evaluating the influence of the fluctuating metric and ghost fields anomalous dimensions on their flow. In this generalized framework we confirm the presence of a UV attractive non-Gaussian fixed-point. Our closure method is general and can be applied systematically to more general truncations of the gravitational effective average action.
