-cutoff regularization for fields on hyperbolic space

Rudrajit Banerjee, Maximilian Becker, Renata Ferrero

We apply a novel background independent regularization scheme, the -cutoffs, to self-consistently quantize scalar and metric fluctuations on the maximally symmetric but non-comp…

Background Independent Field Quantization with Sequences of Gravity-Coupled Approximants II: Metric Fluctuations

Maximilian Becker, Martin Reuter

We apply the new quantization scheme outlined in Phys. Rev. D102 (2020) 125001 to explore the influence which quantum vacuum fluctuations of the spacetime metric exert on the unive…

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…
