Gibbsing spacetime: a group field theory approach to equilibrium in quantum gravity
The symmetries, subtle nature of observables, and lack of a preferred notion of time evolution all make defining a quantum statistical mechanics of general relativity difficult. The paper of Kotecha and Oriti takes up the challenge of building equilibrium Gibbs states in the group field theory appro...
