Description

We apply Hamiltonian renormalisation to Smolin's U(1)^3 model for 3+1 quantum gravity which can be considered as a weak Newton constant regime of the full theory.
We find that the renormalisation group flow indeed finds known solutions of this
model as fixed point. This suggests that the renormalisation scheme can be used
also for the full theory with the aim to fix quantisation ambiguities.
