The results are in excellent agreement with theory and numerical results from other authors.<br/>[Phys. Rev.

Scherer<br/>We consider the asymptotic-safety scenario for quantum gravity which constructs a nonperturbatively renormalizable quantum gravity theory with the help of the functional renormalization group (RG). We verify the existence of a non-Gaussian fixed point and include a running curvature-ghost coupling a...<br/>[Phys. Rev.
