Closer look at cosmological consequences of interacting group field theory

Abstract
Group field theory has shown to be a promising framework to derive cosmological predictions from full quantum gravity. In this brief note, we revisit the background dynamics when interaction terms are taken into account and conclude that, although the bounce is clearly robust, providing a geometrical explanation for inflation seems to be very difficult. We consider possible improvements and modifications of the original scenario and derive several limits on the parameters of the model.
