The canonical (CQG) and asymptotically safe (ASQG) approach to quantum gravity share to be both non-perturbative programmes. However, apart from that they seem to differ in several aspects such as: 1. Signature: CQG is Lorentzian while ASQG is mostly Euclidian. 2. Background Independence (BI): CQG is manifesly BI while ASQG is apparently not. 3. Truncations: CQG is apparently free of truncations while ASQG makes heavy use of them. The purpose of the present work is to either overcome actual differences or to explain why apparent differences are actually absent. Thereby we intend to enhance the contact and communication between the two communities. The focus of this contribution is on conceptual issues rather than deep technical details such has high order truncations. On the other hand the paper tries to be self-contained in order to be useful to researchers from both communities. The point of contact is the path integral formulation of Lorentzian CQG in its reduced phase space formulation which yields the formal generating functional of physical (i.e. gauge invariant) either Schwinger or Feynman N-point functions for (relational) observables. The corresponding effective actions of these generating functionals can then be subjected to the ASQG Wetterich type flow equations which serve in particular to find the rigorous generating fuctionals via the inverse Legendre transform of the fixed pointed effective action.

  1. Relational path integral, effective actions and quantum frame covariance in gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The gravitational path integral is reformulated with dynamical reference frames, producing gauge-invariant correlators, frame-dependent vacua, and effective actions, with sharpness of events becoming frame-relative.

  2. De Sitter quantum gravity within the covariant Lorentzian approach to asymptotic safety

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In the Einstein-Hilbert truncation on de Sitter, the Lorentzian FRG flow exhibits a non-Gaussian UV fixed point for ζ=1/2 and ζ=1 gauges over restricted parameter ranges.

  3. Towards gauge independence in asymptotically safe quantum gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In an essential proper-time scheme, gauge dependence of the flow for Newton's constant cancels order-by-order once redundant off-shell terms are absorbed by field redefinitions, leaving a gauge-independent non-Gaussia...

  4. Renormalisation Group approach to General Relativity

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An exact RG equation for classical gravity is proposed that reproduces the PM expansion and recovers the 1PN two-body action without explicit three-graviton vertices.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. The one-loop effective action from the coherent state path integral of loop quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The one-loop effective action from the LQG coherent state path integral is computed and found to be UV-finite, with the dynamical area j0 > 0 at the quantum level.
