Asymptotically Safe Gravity From Spacetime Foliation to Cosmology /

This book seeks to construct a consistent fundamental quantum theory of gravity, which is often considered one of the most challenging open problems in present-day physics. It approaches this challenge using modern functional renormalization group techniques, and attempts to realize the idea of &quo...
