We argue that four-dimensional quantum gravity may be essentially renormalizable if one relaxes the assumption of metricity of the theory. We work with Plebanski formulation of general relativity in which the metric (tetrad), the connection, and the curvature are all independent variables and the usual relations among these quantities are valid only on-shell. One of the Euler-Lagrange equations of this theory ensures its metricity. We show that quantum corrected action contains a counterterm that destroys this metricity property, and that no other counterterms appear, at least, at the one-loop level. The new term in the action is akin to a curvature-dependent cosmological ``constant''.

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=∞.

Emergent metric and geodesic analysis in cosmological solutions of (torsion-free) Polynomial Affine Gravity
In torsion-free polynomial affine gravity, the Ricci tensor can serve as an emergent metric, and self-parallel curves can reproduce the spatial geodesics of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology.
