Ten questions on Group Field Theory (and their tentative answers)
Aristide Baratin, Daniele Oriti
We provide a short and non-technical summary of our current knowledge and some possible perspectives on the group field theory formalism for quantum gravity, in the form of a (part…
Quantum simplicial geometry in the group field theory formalism: reconsidering the Barrett-Crane model
Aristide Baratin, Daniele Oriti
A dual formulation of group field theories, obtained by a Fourier transform mapping functions on a group to functions on its Lie algebra, has been proposed recently. In the case of…
The Holst Spin Foam Model via Cubulations
Aristide Baratin, Cecilia Flori, Thomas Thiemann
Spin foam models are an attempt for a covariant, or path integral formulation of canonical loop quantum gravity. The construction of such models usually rely on the Plebanski formu…
Hidden Quantum Gravity in 3d Feynman diagrams
Aristide Baratin, Laurent Freidel
In this work we show that 3d Feynman amplitudes of standard QFT in flat and homogeneous space can be naturally expressed as expectation values of a specific topological spin foam m…
