The international seminar on asymptotic safety was founded in spring 2011, with the intention of bringing the asymptotic-safety community together, and providing a platform for talks on asymptotic safety in and beyond quantum gravity, as well as related topics in quantum gravity and quantum field theory.

Upcoming seminars

Benjamin Knorr: Momentum-dependent field redefinitions in Asymptotic Safety


Seminar Date:

We discuss general momentum-dependent field redefinitions in the context of quantum-gravitational scattering amplitudes in general, and Asymptotic Safety in particular. Implementing such redefinitions at the lowest curvature order, we can bring the graviton propagator into tree-level form, avoiding issues of fiducia...

Marta Picciau: Quantum field theories of relativistic Luttinger fermions


Seminar Date:

We have constructed relativistic versions of Luttinger fermions in analogy to effective low-energy degrees of freedom of non-relativistic solid-state systems. We propose to use these relativistic versions as fundamental degrees of freedom of interacting quantum field theories. Using the spin-base invariant formalism...

Yannick Kluth: Robustness of the derivative expansion in Asymptotic Safety


Seminar Date:

We analyse the renormalisation group flow of quantum gravity at sixth order in the derivative expansion within the background field approximation. Non-linear field redefinitions are used to ensure that only essential couplings flow. Working within the universality class of General Relativity, with a vanishing cosmol...
