Impact of topology in foliated quantum Einstein gravity

Abstract We use a functional renormalization group equation tailored to the Arnowitt–Deser–Misner formulation of gravity to study the scale dependence of Newton’s coupling and the cosmological constant on a background spacetime with topology $$S^1 \times S^d$$ S 1 × S d . The resulting beta function...
