Quantum gravity as a group field theory: a sketch

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: We give a very brief introduction to the group field theory approach to quantum gravity, a generalisation of matrix models for 2-dimensional quantum gravity to higher dimension, that has emerged recently from research in spin foam models.
