Condensed Matter
In the first part of the seminar, I will describe a general approach to write down a large family of model SU(N) anti-ferromagnets that do not suffer from the sign problem. In the second half I will show how such Hamiltonians are useful for the study of deconfined quantum critical points and possibly other exotic physics.

Given (a set of) fundamental models of quantum space time, for instance spin foam models, we aim to understand the large scale physics encoded in these fundamental models. Renormalization and coarse graining address this issue and help to understand how large scale physics depends on parameters in the fundamental models.

I will review recent work on coarse graining and renormalization of spin foam and analogue models, revealing possible large scale phases, depending on parameters of the microscopic models. I will explain how these phases are connected to topological field theories and possible vacua for the theory of quantum gravity, e.g. loop quantum gravity. I outline how these different vacua are connected to different representations of the observable algebra, that is different Hilbert spaces, and how this allows to expand the theory around different vacuum states.
Renormalization of group field theories: motivations and a brief review

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.

Tensor models in the large N limit

Razvan Gurau Universität Heidelberg

April 22, 2014

PIRSA:14040087

Tensor models generalize matrix models and provide a framework for the study of random geometries in arbitrary dimensions. Like matrix models they support a 1/N expansion, where N is the size of the tensor, with an analytically controlled large N limit. In this talk I will present some recent results in this field and I will discuss their implications for quantum gravity.

The talk will review recent tests of the asymptotic safety conjecture within functional renormalisation group studies and progress in understanding the properties that such a fixed point would have.
