It is an old speculation in physics that, once the gravitational field is successfully quantized, it should serve as the natural regulator of infrared and ultraviolet singularities that plague quantum field theories in a background metric. We demonstrate that at least part of this idea is implemented in a precise sense within the framework of four-dimensional canonical Lorentzian quantum gravity in the continuum. Specifically, we show that the Hamiltonian of the standard model supports a…
