Fractal universe and quantum gravity made simple

Authors

Abstract

Quantum field theory (QFT) on fractal spacetimes is a program aiming at quantizing the gravitational interaction consistently at all energy scales thanks to an intrinsically or dynamically induced multiscale or multifractal-like spacetime geometry that regularizes the infinities of standard QFT. We reach the goal of this program and formulate a field theory of quantum gravity which is shown to be super-renormalizable and unitary at all perturbative orders. Viable and unviable ways to test this proposal through black holes and gravitational waves are discussed.
