In this contribution, we discuss the asymptotic safety scenario for quantum gravity by evaluating the correlation functions of dynamical metric fluctuations. This is done with a functional renormalisation group approach that disentangles dynamical metric fluctuations from the background metric. We detail the derivation of the respective flow equations on space-time manifolds with Euclidean and Lorentzian signatures and discuss the diffeomorphism symmetry constraints on the flow as well as the convergence of systematic vertex expansion schemes. We then proceed with a comprehensive review of results of momentum-dependent correlation functions at vanishing cutoff scale, the phase structure of the asymptotically safe Standard Model, and spectral properties of asymptotically safe gravity from direct computations in space-times with Lorentzian signatures such as the graviton spectral function.

  1. The fermion sector of the SMEFT from asymptotically safe gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Impact of quantum gravity on the UV sensitivity of extremal black holes

    hep-th 2025-09 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

  3. Regulator and gauge dependence of the Abelian gauge coupling in asymptotically safe quantum gravity

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Self-consistent graviton spectral function in Lorentzian quantum gravity

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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).

  5. Matter Spectral Functions from Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

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