Popis: Abstract We use the framework of asymptotically safe quantum gravity to derive predictions for scalar leptoquark solutions to the $$b\rightarrow s$$ b → s and $$b\rightarrow c$$ b → c flavor anomalies. The presence of an interactive UV fixed point in the system of gauge and Yukawa couplings imposes a set of boundary conditions at the Planck scale, which allows one to determine low-energy values of the leptoquark Yukawa matrix elements. As a consequence, the allowed leptoquark mass range can be significantly narrowed down. We find that a consistent gravity-driven solution to the $$b\rightarrow s$$ b → s anomalies predicts a leptoquark with the mass of 4–7 $$\,\mathrm {TeV}$$ TeV , entirely within the reach of a future hadron-hadron collider with $$\sqrt{s}=100\,\mathrm {TeV}$$ s = 100 TeV . Conversely, in the case of the $$b\rightarrow c$$ b → c anomalies the asymptotically safe gravity framework predicts a leptoquark mass at the edge of the current LHC bounds. Complementary signatures appear in flavor observables, namely the (semi)leptonic decays of B and D mesons and kaons.
