Revealing the small-scale structure of spacetime with renormalisation group methods — •Christoph Rahmede — KIT, Institute of Theoretical Physics, W.-Gaede-Str. 1, 76128 Karlsruhe

If the renormalisation group flow of gravity has a fixed point with a finite number of attractive directions, gravity is asymptotically safe and is well-defined up to arbitrarily high energies or arbitrarily small length scales. I report on recent progress in testing this idea for different classes of interaction operators.
