520 |a We explore the infrared limit of quantum gravity. For a positive cosmological constant or effective scalar potential, one-loop perturbation theory around flat space is divergent due to an instability of the graviton propagator. Functional renormalization solves this problem by a flow of couplings avoiding instabilities. This leads to a graviton barrier limiting the maximal growth of the effective potential for large values of scalar fields. In the presence of this barrier, variable gravity can solve the cosmological constant problem by a cosmological runaway solution. We discuss the naturalness of tiny values of the cosmological constant and cosmon mass due to a strong attraction towards an infrared fixed point.
