Backgrounds from Tensor Models: A Proposal

Abstract

Although tensor models are serious candidates for a theory of quantum gravity, a connection with classical spacetimes have been elusive so far. This paper aims to fill this gap by proposing a neat connection between tensor theory and Euclidean gravity at the classical level. The main departure from the usual approach is the use of Schur invariants (instead of monomial invariants) as manifold partners. Classical spacetime features can be identified naturally on the tensor side in this new setup. A notion of locality is shown to emerge through Ward identities, where proximity between spacetime points translates into vicinity between Young diagram corners.
