Background Independent Field Quantization with Sequences of Gravity-Coupled Approximants
Maximilian Becker, Martin Reuter
We outline, test, and apply a new scheme for nonpertubative analyses of quantized field systems in contact with dynamical gravity. While gravity is treated classically in the prese…
Fractal geometry of higher derivative gravity
Maximilian Becker, Carlo Pagani, Omar Zanusso
We determine the scaling properties of geometric operators such as lengths, areas, and volumes in models of higher derivative quantum gravity by renormalizing appropriate composite…
Geometric operators in the asymptotic safety scenario for quantum gravity
Maximilian Becker, Carlo Pagani
We consider geometric operators, such as the geodesic length and the volume of hypersurfaces, in the context of the Asymptotic Safety scenario for quantum gravity. We discuss the r…
Dimension-Dependence of the Critical Exponent in Spherically Symmetric Gravitational Collapse
J. Bland, B. Preston, M. Becker +2
We study the critical behaviour of spherically symmetric scalar field collapse to black holes in spacetime dimensions other than four. We obtain reliable values for the scaling exp…
