Group Field Theory: An overview
read the original abstract
We give a brief overview of the properties of a higher dimensional generalization of matrix model which arises naturally in the context of a background independent approach to quantum gravity, the so called group field theory. We show that this theory leads to a natural proposal for the physical scalar product of quantum gravity. We also show in which sense this theory provides a third quantization point of view on quantum gravity.

Collective excitations in quantum gravity condensates
Collective excitations analogous to phonons are derived in quantum gravity condensates within a group field theory model, yielding leading beyond-mean-field corrections to emergent Friedmann dynamics.

A Cosmological Uncertainty Relation and Late-Universe Acceleration
A deformed uncertainty relation for the universe scale factor modifies the Friedmann equation to yield late-universe acceleration or a bounce according to the sign of a single free exponent.

A Cosmological Uncertainty Relation and Late-Universe Acceleration
Deformed commutation relation for the cosmic scale factor modifies the Friedmann equation to produce late-time dark energy with w > -1 or a non-singular bounce as a horizon-scale quantum gravity effect, without new pa...
