So what if gravity IS a local QFT? What happens in putative quantum gravity theories where gravity remains a local, renormalizable QFT? Can black hole physics inform how we think about those theories as well?

The fundamental questions Can there even be black hole thermodynamics? Does requiring black hole thermodynamics lead to interesting restrictions on parameter space of Horava-Lifshitz gravity? Iβm not asking or worrying about experimental limits on Horava-Lifshitz gravity
