Abstract
Abstract This is a short chapter summarizing the main results concerning the renormalization group in models of pure quantum gravity, without matter fields. The chapter starts with a critical analysis of non-perturbative renormalization group approaches, such as the asymptotic safety hypothesis. After that, it presents solid one-loop results based on the minimal subtraction scheme in the one-loop approximation. The polynomial models that are briefly reviewed include the on-shell renormalization group in quantum general relativity, and renormalization group equations in fourth-derivative quantum gravity and superrenormalizable models. Special attention is paid to the gauge-fixing dependence of the renormalization group trajectories.
