SUMMARY
Renormalization in background independent theories presents challenges due to the absence of a background metric, which complicates the definition of scales for coupling constants. New methodologies are emerging to address these issues, as highlighted in the recent workshop hosted by Perimeter Institute. The workshop features a series of talks, including presentations by notable researchers such as Wieland, Bahr, Bonzom, Guifre Vidal, Dittrich, and Zapata. As of now, 16 talks are available online, with additional contributions from Etera Livine, Marc Geiller, and Sylvain Carrozza.
