Continuous point symmetries in group field theories

Abstract: We discuss the notion of symmetries in non-local field theories characterized by integro-differential equations of motion, from a geometric perspective. We then focus on Group Field Theory (GFT) models of quantum gravity and provide a general analysis of their continuous point symmetry transformations, including the generalized conservation laws following from them.

“…It is an interesting question to list the classical symmetries of the models + and × given by the generalized Noether theorem for such non-local theories [99,98]. To apply the Lie symmetry algorithm as worked out in these references could be an interesting exercise for derivative coupling theories and could bear important consequences for the Ward identities.…”

“…The most important results in determining explicit solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) were derived in [1]. These types of methods are best known as continuous symmetry transformation groups [2][3][4][5][6]. At present, we use computer software (e.g., Maple, Mathematica) to make this kind of transformation.…”

“…A second option is to encode metric degrees of freedom in additional data associated to Feynman graphs. This strategy is sometimes called group field theory (GFT) [5,6,7,33,104,116,117,118,121] and has proven quite successful. In GFT one considers tensors over some Lie group that are furthermore invariant under the diagonal action of the group.…”
