Renormalization group corrections to gravity are applied at the action level to cosmology, yielding a constant gravitational slip and a low-redshift f sigma8 modification that may ease the sigma8 tension.

abstract
The quest for finding self-consistent background solutions in quantum field theory is closely related to the way one decides to set the renormalization scale $k$. This freedom in the choice of the scale setting can lead to ambiguities and conceptual inconsistencies such as the non-conservation of the stress-energy tensor. In this paper a setting for the "scale-field" is proposed at the level of effective action, which avoids such inconsistencies by construction. The mechanism and its potential is exemplified for scalar $\phi^4$ theory and for Einstein-Hilbert-Maxwell theory.

Cosmological framework for renormalization group extended gravity at the action level
Renormalization group corrections to gravity are applied at the action level to cosmology, yielding a constant gravitational slip and a low-redshift f sigma8 modification that may ease the sigma8 tension.
