摘要
We explore the possibility that the fundamental theory of nature does not contain any scale. This implies a renormalizable quantum gravity theory where the graviton kinetic term has 4 derivatives, and can be reinterpreted as gravity minus an anti-graviton. We compute the super-Planckian RGE of adimensional gravity coupled to a generic matter sector. The Planck scale and a flat space can arise dynamically at quantum level provided that a quartic scalar coupling and its beta function vanish at the Planck scale. This is how the Higgs boson behaves for M-h approximate to 125 GeV and M-t approximate to 171 GeV. Within agravity, inflation is a generic phenomenon: the slow-roll parameters are given by the beta-functions of the theory, and are small if couplings are perturbative. The predictions n(s) approximate to 0.967 and r approximate to 0.13 arise if the inflaton is identified with the Higgs of gravity. Furthermore, quadratically divergent corrections to the Higgs mass vanish: a small weak scale is natural and can be generated by agravity quantum corrections.
