Group Field Theory Condensate Cosmology

Mairi Sakellariadou

Perimeter Institute

I will first introduce Group Field Theory, a nonperturbative approach to quantum gravity, and then discuss some issues of Group Field Theory Condensate Cosmology. In particular, I will show the emergence of a cyclic universe and the onset of an early era of accelerated expansion without having to introduce an inflaton filed with a fine tuned potential.
