abstract
We study real-time scalar $\phi^4$-theory in 2+1 dimensions near criticality. Specifically, we compute the single-particle spectral function and that of the $s$-channel four-point function in and outside the scaling regime. The computation is done with the spectral functional Callan-Symanzik equation, which exhibits manifest Lorentz invariance and preserves causality. We extract the scaling exponent $\eta$ from the spectral function and compare our result with that from a Euclidean fixed point analysis.

Self-consistent graviton spectral function in Lorentzian quantum gravity
A self-consistent spectral renormalisation group computation yields a positive, normalizable graviton spectral function with a massless pole and a multi-graviton continuum decaying as 1/(λ² log³ λ²).
