Summary: The tensor track approach to quantum gravity [the author, “Quantum gravity and renormalization: the tensor track”, arXiv:1112.5104], is based on a new class of quantum field theories, hereafter called tensor group field theories (TGFTs). We provide a brief review of recent progress and list some desirable properties of TGFTs. In order to narrow the search for interesting models, we also propose a set of guidelines for TGFT’s loosely inspired by the Osterwalder-Schrader axioms of ordinary Euclidean QFT.
