Asymptotically Safe theories of gravity have recently received much attention. In this work we discuss a class of inflationary models derived from quantum-gravity modification of quadratic gravity according to the induced scaling around the non-Gaussian fixed point at very high energies. It is argued that the presence of a three dimensional ultraviolet critical surface generates operators of non-integer power of the type $R^{2-\theta/2}$ in the effective Lagrangian, where $\theta>0$ is a critical exponent. The requirement of a successful inflationary model in agreement with the recent Planck 2015 data puts important constraints on the strenght of this new type of couplings.

  1. Cosmic Inflation From Regular Black Holes

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Regular black holes in the bulk of quasi-topological gravity drive a de Sitter inflationary phase on the brane at small scales, with e-fold number set by the ratio of black hole radius to higher-curvature scale.

  2. Starobinsky-inflation in asymptotically safe shift-symmetric scalar-tensor theory

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Starobinsky inflation rules out two of three non-Gaussian fixed points in asymptotically safe scalar-tensor theories, identifying viable RG trajectories from the remaining fixed point.

  3. Horizon-scale tests of gravity theories and fundamental physics from the Event Horizon Telescope image of Sagittarius A$^*$

    gr-qc 2022-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    EHT observations of Sgr A* constrain deviations from GR black hole solutions including regular BHs, string-inspired spacetimes, and BH mimickers, with some limits exceeding cosmological bounds.
