A number of approaches to four-dimensional quantum gravity, such as loop quantum gravity and holography, situate areas as their fundamental variables. However, this choice of kinematics can easily lead to gravitational dynamics peaked on flat spacetimes. We show that this is due to how regions are glued in the gravitational path integral via a discrete spin foam model. We introduce a family of `effective' spin foam models that incorporate a quantum area spectrum, impose gluing constraints as strongly as possible, and leverage the discrete general relativity action to specify amplitudes. These effective spin foam models avoid flatness in a restricted regime of the parameter space. The simpler effective spin foam models will be useful for numerical studies and in the investigation of coarse graining and renormalization.

Renormalization group flows in area-metric gravity
The first renormalization group analysis of area-metric gravity shows shape-mismatching masses grow toward the infrared, parity is not emergent, and the Immirzi parameter flow has fixed points at γ=0 and γ=∞.

Foundational Structure of Local Amplitudes in Quantum Gravity
Local amplitudes for causal diamonds can be constructed from null-slab boundary states, projectors, and vacuum intertwiners, with Ward identities and charge conservation as consequences.
