Abstract

In this short review we introduce group field theory, a particular class of random tensor models, which represents nowadays one of the candidates for a fundamental theory of quantum gravity. We insist on the combinatorial richness of associated structures, namely tensor graphs, natural generalization of ribbon graph (or combinatorial maps).
