We show that the quantum universe emerging from a nonperturbative, Lorentzian sum-over-geometries can be described with high accuracy by a four-dimensional de Sitter spacetime. By a scaling analysis involving Newton's constant, we establish that the linear size of the quantum universes under study is in between 17 and 28 Planck lengths. Somewhat surprisingly, the measured quantum fluctuations around the de Sitter universe in this regime are to good approximation still describable semiclassically. The numerical evidence presented comes from a regularization of quantum gravity in terms of causal dynamical triangulations.

  1. 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.

  2. Quantum Gravity, Hydrodynamics and Emergent Cosmology: A Collection of Perspectives

    gr-qc 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper argues that an effective 'hydrodynamics on superspace' framework, realized in TGFT condensate cosmology, can unify quantum gravity and cosmology.

  3. Nonperturbative quantum gravity unlocked through computation

    hep-th 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    The paper argues that lattice methods based on causal dynamical triangulations offer a working nonperturbative computational route to quantum gravity and to early-universe physics.
