Description

Following the Wilsonian approach to quantum field theory, we try to formulate a lattice quantum field theory of gravity, where short distance physics should be associated with an ultraviolet fixed point and a flow away from such a fixed point should lead to a universe like the one we observe today. You will get a status report.
