Quantum field theory on curved space or space-time backgrounds (81T20) Space-time singularities, cosmic censorship, etc. (83C75)

Abstract: Gurau argued in [arXiv:1006.0714] that the gluing spaces arising as Feynman diagrams of three-dimensional group field theory are not all pseudo-manifolds. I dispute this conclusion: albeit not properly triangulated, these spaces are genuine pseudo-manifolds, viz. their singular locus is of codimension at least two.
