We extend recent results on scalar-tensor theories to the case of an O(N)-invariant multiplet. Some exact fixed point solutions of the RG flow equations are discussed. We find that also in the functional context, on employing a standard "type-I" cutoff, too many scalars destroy the gravitational fixed point. For d=3 we show the existence of the gravitationally dressed Wilson-Fisher fixed point also for N>1. We discuss also the results of the analysis for a different, scalar-free, coarse-graining scheme.

  1. Fifth-Force Constraints from UV-Complete Scalar-Tensor Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    UV completeness in scalar-tensor gravity restricts the fifth-force Yukawa parameters α and λ to a narrow wedge in parameter space, ruling out its complement and part of the experimentally allowed domain.

  2. Towards theory constraints on ultralight dark matter from quantum gravity

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In asymptotically safe gravity, dimension-five couplings of ultralight scalar dark matter to gauge field strengths vanish and are not generated perturbatively.

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Proper-time FRG applied to gravity-coupled O(N) scalars largely reproduces scaling solutions and critical properties found with the effective average action, with some quantitative differences at finite and large N de...
