No more quantum gravity As we know strings and loops are both about condensed matter (AdS/CMT, tensor networks). So these guys want to apply their skills to real world problems too and grow melons. I think the back-up plan for the people who cloned the potassium channel, if the cloning didn't work out, was to sell melons. Well, the cloning did work, so Rivasseau will have to hope he gets other customers.

Critical behavior of colored tensor models in the large N limit
Valentin Bonzom, Razvan Gurau, Aldo Riello, Vincent Rivasseau
(Submitted on 16 May 2011)
Abstract: Colored tensor models have been recently shown to admit a large N expansion, whose leading order encodes a sum over a class of colored triangulations of the D-sphere. The present paper investigates in details this leading order. We show that the relevant triangulations proliferate like a species of colored trees. The leading order is therefore summable and exhibits a critical behavior, independent of the dimension. A continuum limit is reached by tuning the coupling constant to its critical value while inserting an infinite number of pairs of D-simplices glued together in a specific way. We argue that the dominant triangulations are branched polymers.
