We compute the effective potential for scalar fields in asymptotically safe quantum gravity. A scaling potential and other scaling functions generalize the fixed point values of renormalizable couplings. The scaling potential takes a non-polynomial form, approaching typically a constant for large values of scalar fields. Spontaneous symmetry breaking may be induced by non-vanishing gauge couplings. We strengthen the arguments for a prediction of the ratio between the masses of the top quark and the Higgs boson. Higgs inflation in the standard model is unlikely to be compatible with asymptotic safety. Scaling solutions with vanishing relevant parameters can be sufficient for a realistic description of particle physics and cosmology, leading to an asymptotically vanishing ''cosmological constant" or dynamical dark energy.

  1. Starobinsky-inflation in asymptotically safe shift-symmetric scalar-tensor theory

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Starobinsky inflation rules out two of three non-Gaussian fixed points in asymptotically safe scalar-tensor theories, identifying viable RG trajectories from the remaining fixed point.

  2. Gravitationally Induced UV Completion of an $O(N)$ Scalar Theory

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    Gravity's non-minimal coupling drives the quartic self-coupling of an O(N) scalar to zero at an attractive fixed point, making the broken-phase theory UV-complete and bounding the scalar mass.

  3. Fermi scale from quantum gravity scaling solution

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    The Fermi/Planck ratio is claimed to be predictable from the analyticity of the quantum-gravity scaling solution for the cosmon-Higgs coupling, with numerics showing the coupling flows to a tiny, near-critical value.
