Abstract

Group field theories are tensorial models enriched with group-theoretic data in order to define proper field theories of quantum geometry. They can be understood as a second quantised (Fock space) reformulation of loop quantum gravity kinematics and dynamics. The renormalization group provides, as a in any quantum field theory, a key tool to select well-defined models, to unravel the impact of quantum effects on the dynamics across different scales, and to study the continuum limit. Beside introducing the general formalism and clarifying the relation to other approaches, we will motivate the renormalisation group analysis of group field theories and review recent developments in this direction.
