At criticality, discrete quantum-gravity models are expected to give rise to continuum spacetime. Recent progress has established the functional renormalization group method in the context of such models as a practical tool to study their critical properties and to chart their phase diagrams. Here, we apply these techniques to the multi-matrix model with $ABAB$-interaction potentially relevant for Lorentzian quantum gravity in 3 dimensions. We characterize the fixed-point structure and phase diagram of this model, paving the way for functional RG studies of more general multi-matrix or tensor models encoding causality and subjecting the technique to another strong test of its performance in discrete quantum gravity by comparing to known results.

The paper
Original abstract
At criticality, discrete quantum-gravity models are expected to give rise to continuum spacetime. Recent progress has established the functional renormalization group method in the context of such models as a practical tool to study their critical properties and to chart their phase diagrams. Here, we apply these techniques to the multi-matrix model with $ABAB$-interaction potentially relevant for Lorentzian quantum gravity in 3 dimensions. We characterize the fixed-point structure and phase diagram of this model, paving the way for functional RG studies of more general multi-matrix or tensor models encoding causality and subjecting the technique to another strong test of its performance in discrete quantum gravity by comparing to known results.

While the investigation of such theories' phase structure, has attracted considerable attention in recent years [ref] , much remains to be understood concerning the general conditions under which critical behaviour occurs, and even more about whether this leads to well-defined continuum spacetime geometries.

Therein, $Z_A, Z_B$ are wave-function renormalization factors and the details of the cut-off procedure are captured by the function [equation] so that the regulator is closely modelled after Litim's cutoff [ref] .

Our leading-order FRG analysis has resulted in a phase diagram in good agreement with the results presented in [ref] , providing a strong test of the functional RG approach to matrix/tensor models and highlighting that already at very low truncation order, key physics aspects are well captured.
