Holographic Entanglement in Group Field Theory

This work is meant as a review summary of a series of recent results concerning the derivation of a <i>holographic</i> entanglement entropy formula for generic open spin network states in the group field theory (GFT) approach to quantum gravity. The statistical group-field computation of...
