Cytoskeletal turnover and Myosin contractility drive cell autonomous oscillations in a model of Drosophila Dorsal Closure
Pedro F. Machado, Guy B. Blanchard, Julia Duque +1
Oscillatory behaviour in force-generating systems is a pervasive phenomenon in cell biology. In this work, we investigate how oscillations in the actomyosin cytoskeleton drive cell…
The Universal RG Machine
Dario Benedetti, Kai Groh, Pedro F. Machado +1
Functional Renormalization Group Equations constitute a powerful tool to encode the perturbative and non-perturbative properties of a physical system. We present an algorithm to sy…
Four-derivative interactions in asymptotically safe gravity
Dario Benedetti, Pedro F. Machado, Frank Saueressig
We summarize recent progress in understanding the role of higher-derivative terms in the asymptotic safety scenario of gravity. Extending previous computations based on the functio…
Conformally reduced quantum gravity revisited
P. F. Machado, R. Percacci
Applying functional renormalization group methods, we describe two inequivalent ways of defining the renormalization group of matter-coupled four dimensional gravity, in the approx…
Taming perturbative divergences in asymptotically safe gravity
Dario Benedetti, Pedro F. Machado, Frank Saueressig
We use functional renormalization group methods to study gravity minimally coupled to a free scalar field. This setup provides the prototype of a gravitational theory which is pert…
Asymptotic safety in higher-derivative gravity
Dario Benedetti, Pedro F. Machado, Frank Saueressig
We study the non-perturbative renormalization group flow of higher-derivative gravity employing functional renormalization group techniques. The non-perturbative contributions to t…
