Graduate Is asymptotic safety linear with respect to the wavefunction

Click For Summary
Asymptotic safety (AS) is considered a local quantum field theory, leading to the assumption of linearity with respect to the wavefunction. The discussion emphasizes that the linear nature of AS is crucial for its theoretical framework. Participants agree on the importance of this linearity in understanding the behavior of quantum fields. The implications of this linearity for physical predictions and calculations are also highlighted. Overall, the consensus supports the view that AS is indeed linear in relation to the wavefunction.

AS is a local quantum field theory, so I'm assuming that it is? What do you guys think?

Thread 'Questioning the timescape model'

"Supernovae evidence for foundational change to cosmological models" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.15143 The paper claims: We compare the standard homogeneous cosmological model, i.e., spatially flat ΛCDM, and the timescape cosmology which invokes backreaction of inhomogeneities. Timescape, while statistically homogeneous and isotropic, departs from average Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker evolution, and replaces dark energy by kinetic gravitational energy and its gradients, in explaining...
