abstract
Proper time functional flow equations have garnered significant attention in recent years, as they are particularly suitable in analyzing non-perturbative contexts. By resorting to this flow, we investigate the regulator and gauge dependence in quantum Einstein gravity within the asymptotic safety framework, considering various regularization schemes. Our findings indicate that some details of the regulator have minor influence on the critical properties of the theory. In contrast, the selection between linear and exponential parametrizations appears to have a more substantial impact on the scaling behavior of the renormalized flow near the non-Gaussian fixed point.

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.
Asymptotically safe gravitational form factors are obtained by integrating the proper-time flow to k=0; finite cutoff-independent results with 1/q² UV decay require selecting the non-Gaussian fixed point as UV boundary condition.
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.
A minimal proper time τ_min is introduced into QFT to suppress high-energy modes, achieve asymptotic safety via dimensional reduction, and allow a deterministic regime near the Planck scale.
Proper-time FRG applied to gravity-coupled O(N) scalars largely reproduces scaling solutions and critical properties found with the effective average action, with some quantitative differences at finite and large N depending on improved schemes.
