We present a comprehensive non-perturbative study of the phase structure of the asymptotically safe Standard Model. The physics scales included range from the asymptotically safe trans-Planckian regime in the ultraviolet, the intermediate high-energy regime with electroweak symmetry breaking to strongly correlated QCD in the infrared. All flows are computed with a self-consistent functional renormalisation group approach, using a vertex expansion in the fluctuation fields. In particular, this approach takes care of all physical threshold effects and the respective decoupling of ultraviolet degrees of freedom. Standard Model and gravity couplings and masses are fixed by their experimental low energy values. Importantly, we accommodate for the difference between the top pole mass and its Euclidean analogue. Both, the correct mass determination and the threshold effects have a significant impact on the qualitative properties, and in particular on the stability properties of the specific ultraviolet-infrared trajectory with experimental Standard Model physics in the infrared. We show that in the present rather advanced approximation the matter part of the asymptotically safe Standard Model has the same number of relevant parameters as the Standard Model, and is asymptotically free. This result is based on the novel UV fixed point found in the present work: the fixed point Higgs potential is flat but has two relevant directions. These results and their analysis are accompanied by a thorough discussion of the systematic error of the present truncation, also important for systematic improvements.

The fermion sector of the SMEFT from asymptotically safe gravity
In a toy model of one quark generation, asymptotically safe gravity predicts four-fermion SMEFT coefficients are either Planck-scale suppressed or zero, with exceptions only at very large gravitational coupling.

Scaling solutions for gauge invariant flow equations in dilaton quantum gravity
Scaling solutions of a gauge-invariant functional flow equation support the dilaton quantum gravity fixed point, with Planck mass ~ φ² at large field and a stable negative kinetial in the infrared.

Impact of quantum gravity on the UV sensitivity of extremal black holes
Asymptotically safe quantum gravity predicts a positive Goroff-Sagnotti Wilson coefficient at the Planck scale, which would keep extremal Kerr black hole tidal forces finite, but the paper's bound on the quantum gravi...

Regulator and gauge dependence of the Abelian gauge coupling in asymptotically safe quantum gravity
The existence of an asymptotically safe UV completion for the Abelian gauge coupling is shown to survive simultaneous variations of the regulator and gauge parameters in certain minimal-sensitivity regions.

Matter Spectral Functions from Quantum Gravity
Under asymptotically safe quantum gravity, photon and scalar propagators acquire Källén-Lehmann spectral functions that are non-normalizable and change sign in the ultraviolet.

Gravitationally Induced UV Completion of an $O(N)$ Scalar Theory
Gravity's non-minimal coupling drives the quartic self-coupling of an O(N) scalar to zero at an attractive fixed point, making the broken-phase theory UV-complete and bounding the scalar mass.

Fermi scale from quantum gravity scaling solution
The Fermi/Planck ratio is claimed to be predictable from the analyticity of the quantum-gravity scaling solution for the cosmon-Higgs coupling, with numerics showing the coupling flows to a tiny, near-critical value.
