Renormalization loop diagrams are in general UV divergent Regularization by momentum cut-off Λ or dimensional regularization d = 4 ɛ Renormalization by adding counterterms introduces renormalization scale µ comparison with bare theory yield running of couplings g(µ) and other parameters, e. g. masses, which is encoded in the β function β g µ dg dµ

Gravitation Gravity as an effective field theory Perturbatively quantized Einstein gravity is famously nonrenormalizable Nevertheless it can be treated consistently as effective field theory [Donoghue 95] S grav = d d x { g Λ + 1 } R + c 1 R 2 + c 2 R µν R µν +... 16πG N The higher derivative terms arise in loop expansions, the values of their couplings are largely undetermined, e.g. c 1, c 2 10 74 [Stelle 78] Question in this framework: Does inclusion of gravity alter the running of the Standard Model couplings g Maxwell (µ), g YM (µ), Y Yukawa (µ), λ ϕ 4(µ),?

Summary and Outlook The Yang-Mills β-function receives no contributions form gravitational self-coupling. Yukawa and ϕ 4 interactions receive gravitational corrections The spectrum of HD corrections is not restricted to Lee-Wick terms.
