The rigorous conditions to obtain sensible predictions in non (proper) renormalizable Quantum Field Theories were derived a long time ago, most notably in the works of Steven Weinberg. In this paper we explicitly illustrate the challenges met in carrying this program within the Affine Gravity framework, in particular when attempting to pinpoint viable particle propagation. We explore the one-loop structure of some ghost and tachyon-free vector theories to illustrate the role of structural constraints in their interactions, even in the absence of gauge symmetries. Despite the presence of soft-breaking terms, we show how hopes of casting a vector model within the predictive frame of effective field methods hinges on adopting a gauge-like treatment of their interactions.

Numerical polology: towards next-generation model-building for cosmology
Numerical polology framework samples coupling space to discover ghost-free tensor field theories up to rank three for cosmology, then applies resulting priors to black hole superradiance, dynamical dark energy, and GW data.

Quadratic gravity with propagating torsion and asymptotic freedom
A specific nonminimal kinetic term for the pure tensorial component of torsion makes the gravitational couplings of quadratic gravity asymptotically free at one loop while preserving the absence of tachyons.

Gravitational waves in Cubic Metric-Affine Gravity
New exact pp-wave solutions in cubic metric-affine gravity have dynamical torsion and nonmetricity and cause a scalar polarization mode in gravitational waves.

Stability in Cubic Metric-Affine Gravity
Cubic-order curvature, torsion, and nonmetricity invariants can remove the vector and axial instabilities of quadratic metric-affine gravity and allow Reissner-Nordstrom-like black holes with massive tensor modes.
