Description

Working within the relational framework of group field theories and specifically its application to
cosmology, we derive an explicit solution to the GFT condensate effective dynamics, including the
treatment of scalar perturbations. This first step allowed us to investigate further the matter content
and formulate its dynamics in the form of QFT on a curved background. This, in turn, produced
additional emergent properties that the field theory possesses in comparison with the classical one,
which was further mirrored at the level of the perturbation. In the latter case, we attained a modified
dispersion relation for the perturbed field.
