Leading Quantum Correction to the Newtonian Potential
read the original abstract
I argue that the leading quantum corrections, in powers of the energy or inverse powers of the distance, may be computed in quantum gravity through knowledge of only the low energy structure of the theory. As an example, I calculate the leading quantum corrections to the Newtonian gravitational potential.

The Graviton Propagator in Asymptotically Safe Gravity with Non-Local Form Factors
At quadratic order in asymptotically safe gravity, the graviton propagator has a single pole at q²=0 with positive residue, no ghost poles, and yields a regular Newtonian potential at r=0.

Higher-Derivative Corrections to Reissner--Nordstr\"om Black Holes from Worldline QFT
RF² corrections to RN black holes are computed via worldline QFT, verified exactly in G, and shown to require the weak gravity conjecture for non-negative extremal temperature.

Asymptotically Safe Gravitational Form Factors from the Proper-Time Flow Equation
Asymptotically safe gravitational form factors are obtained by integrating the proper-time flow to k=0; finite cutoff-independent results with 1/q² UV decay require selecting the non-Gaussian fixed point as UV boundar...
