abstract
The gravitational asymptotic safety program envisions a high-energy completion of the gravitational interactions by an interacting renormalization group fixed point, the Reuter fixed point. The primary tool for investigating this scenario are functional renormalization group equations, foremost the Wetterich equation. This equation implements the idea of the Wilsonian renormalization group by integrating out quantum fluctuations shell-by-shell in momentum space and gives access to the theory's renormalization group flow beyond the realm of perturbation theory. This chapter gives a pedagogical introduction to the gravitational asymptotic safety program with a specific focus on clarifying conceptual points which led to confusion in the past. We provide a step-by-step introduction to the Wetterich equation and its most commonly used non-perturbative approximations. This exposition also introduces recent developments including the minimal essential scheme and $N$-type cutoffs. The use of the Wetterich equation in explicit computations is illustrated within the Einstein-Hilbert truncation which constitutes the simplest non-perturbative approximation of the gravitational renormalization group flow. We conclude with a brief summary and comments on recent developments originating from other quantum gravity programs.

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.

Tame Complexity of Effective Field Theories in the Quantum Gravity Landscape
Effective field theories consistent with quantum gravity are conjectured to have uniformly bounded 'tame complexity', a quantitative measure of the information needed to specify them.

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.

Self-consistent graviton spectral function in Lorentzian quantum gravity
A self-consistent spectral renormalisation group computation yields a positive, normalizable graviton spectral function with a massless pole and a multi-graviton continuum decaying as 1/(λ² log³ λ²).
