abstract
We explore whether quantum gravity effects within the asymptotic safety paradigm can provide a predictive ultraviolet completion for Abelian gauge theories. We evaluate the effect of quantum gravity fluctuations on the running couplings in the gauge sector and discover an asymptotically safe fixed point of the Renormalization Group. In particular, if the strength of gravitational interactions remains below a critical strength, the minimal gauge coupling becomes asymptotically free. Further, we point out that a completely asymptotically free dynamics for the gauge field is impossible to achieve, as asymptotically safe quantum gravity necessarily induces nonvanishing higher-order interactions for the gauge field in the ultraviolet.

In asymptotically safe gravity, dimension-five couplings of ultralight scalar dark matter to gauge field strengths vanish and are not generated perturbatively.
Proper-time flow yields positive gravitational corrections to gauge beta functions and negative leading corrections to Yukawa beta functions at the Einstein-Hilbert fixed point, with quantified scheme dependence and limited room for interactive matter fixed points.
