In an essential proper-time scheme, gauge dependence of the flow for Newton's constant cancels order-by-order once redundant off-shell terms are absorbed by field redefinitions, leaving a gauge-independent non-Gaussian fixed point.

abstract
Scheme independence of exact renormalization group equations, including independence of the choice of cutoff function, is shown to follow from general field redefinitions, which remains an inherent redundancy in quantum field theories. Renormalization group equations and their solutions are amenable to a simple formulation which is manifestly covariant under such a symmetry group. Notably, the kernel of the exact equations which controls the integration of modes acts as a field connection along the flow.
