Asymptotic Safety and Black Holes
Abstract/Sommario:
One of the open challenges in fundamental physics is to combine Einstein's theory of general relativity with the principles of quantum mechancis. In this thesis, the question is raised whether metric quantum gravity could be fundamental in the spirit of Steven Weinberg's seminal asymptotic safety conjecture, and if so, what the consequences would be for the physics of small, possibly Planck-size black holes. To address the first question, new techniques are provided which allow, for th ...; [leggi tutto]
