abstract
A phenomenologically viable theory of quantum gravity must accommodate all observed matter degrees of freedom and their properties. Here, we explore whether a toy model of the Higgs-Yukawa sector of the Standard Model is compatible with asymptotically safe quantum gravity. We discuss the phenomenological implications of our result in the context of the Standard Model. We analyze the quantum scaling dimension of the system, and find an irrelevant Yukawa coupling at a joint gravity-matter fixed point. Further, we explore the impact of gravity-induced couplings between scalars and fermions, which are non-vanishing in asymptotically safe gravity.

Quantum gravity contributions to the beta functions of gauge and Yukawa couplings are derived via the Schwinger proper-time flow equation; their dependence on gauge fixing and regulators is quantified at gravity's interactive fixed point and compared with other schemes.
