• Standard Model extension that allows for a Dark Matter candidate
• Simple dark matter models preferred
• Demand that the model is UV complete with quantum gravity
• Assume no further particle content

Compatibility with SM
When is the SM compatible with Asymptotic Safety?
• For U(1)Y we need fg ≥ 9.8 · 10−3
• For top and bottom mass we need fy ≥ 10−4[Eichhorn, Held ’18]
• The Higgs mass is slightly wrong mh ≈ 130 GeV [Shaposhnikov, Wetterich ’09]
Two perspectives on the Higgs mass
• Accept small difference
• Use freedom of SM extension to adjust Higgs mass
