Asymptotic Safety implies that observables including scattering amplitudes remain finite at the highest energy scales. Traditionally, this feature is connected to an interacting fixed point of the Wilsonian renormalization group that provides the high-energy completion of the theory. In this article, we discuss a different facet of Asymptotic Safety, reviewing its imprint on the quantum effective action. We start with a concise introduction to the form factor framework for gravity and gravity-matter systems, before giving an encyclopaedic overview of gravity-mediated scattering amplitudes derived from the quantum effective action. We illustrate the use of the framework based on form factors appearing in the context of quadratic gravity and Asymptotic Safety, before making the connections to positivity bounds derived for low-energy effective field theories and the computation of form factors from first principles. We conclude that the form factor framework offers a unique, unifying perspective on quantum gravity. In particular, it plays a pivotal role in determining the phenomenological consequences of Asymptotic Safety at the level of observables.

  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. Spectral Bifurcations in Quasinormal Modes of Regular BTZ Black Holes

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For regular BTZ black holes from an infinite Lovelock tower, scalar quasinormal modes bifurcate from complex BTZ branches into purely imaginary branches as the regularization length ℓ grows, producing mode switching a...

  3. 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...

  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.
