Discrete quantum field theories of the gravitational field — •Gennaro Tedesco — Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany.

We introduce a procedure of quantization for the gravitational field by taking a lattice regularization of the space-time in terms of graphs labelled by representations of the symmetry groups. A quantum field theory for the gravitational field, namely the Group Field Theory, is also provided.
