dimension cross-over from their classical to fixed point values on a logarithmic energy scale. Note thatboth indices grow with dimension. In particular, the larger ⇥, the faster the cross-over regime in unitsof the RG ‘time’ lnµ. Furthermore, ⇥nG is larger than ⇥G and the ratio ⇥nG/⇥G = 2d/(d + 2) rangesbetween [4/3, 1/2] for d between [4,⌅]. It follows that the cross-over region between IR and UV scalingnarrows with increasing dimension [3, 10].

C. Running Newton’s coupling

For the applications below it is useful to have explicit expressions for the functions g(µ), G(µ), Z(µ),and �(µ) at hand. We introduce three di⇥erent approximations capturing the essential features. Sincethe transition from perturbative to fixed point scaling becomes very narrow with increasing dimension,the scale dependence is well-approximated by an instantaneous jump in the anomalous dimension at theenergy scale µ = �(0)

T . This is the quenched approximation, solely characterized by a transition scale ofthe order of the fundamental Planck scale M⇥, where

Z�1(µ) =

⇤1 for µ < �(0)

T

(�(0)T )d�2/µd�2 for µ ⇥ �(0)

T

�(µ) =

⇤0 for µ < �(0)

T

2� d for µ ⇥ �(0)T

. (18)

In the quenched approximation, continuity in G(µ) follows if the fixed point value g⇥ is related toNewton’s coupling at low energies and the transition scale via g⇥ = GN (�(0)

T )d�2. We will identify thecross-over scale �T with the parameter �(0)

T in (18).

In order to achieve explicit continuous expressions for �(µ) we resolve (16) for g(µ) to find Z(µ)and �(µ) by using mild additional approximations for the ratio ⇥G/⇥nG, see (17). For the additionalapproximation ⇥G/⇥nG = 1, we find an explicit expression for the running coupling (10) from (16) with

Z(µ) = 1 + GNµd�2/g⇥ , �(µ) = (2� d)�

1� 1Z(µ)

⇥. (19)

We have taken the limit g0 ⇤ g⇥ and µ0 ⇤ �T while keeping the gravitational coupling GN = g0/µd�20

fixed to its d-dimensional value. We have also used g⇥ = GN (�(1)T )d�2. Here, the anomalous dimension

is linear in the dimensionless coupling g and reads � = (2�d)g/g⇥. Provided that (2�d)/g⇥ is identified
