Description

We consider the scaling properties of geometric operators such as parametrized curves, surfaces, and volumes in the context of the Asymptotic Safety scenario for Quantum Gravity. We also discuss the scaling properties of geodesics and their possible role in the Asymptotic Safety scenario.
