Past Events
Three separate worldsheet computations illustrate string theoretic aspects of AdS3/CFT2 duality: (1) Hawking radiation of winding strings; (2) BPS fivebrane “stars” near the black hole threshold;…
The development of classical electromagnetism and quantum electrodynamics are highpoints of nineteenth and twentieth century physics, respectively.
Pioneered in the 1950s by Hanbury Brown and Twiss, intensity interferometry refers to the correlation of light intensities incident on two telescopes.
The integrable TT + \Lambda_2 deformation of a holographic CFT_2 contains universal dressed energy bands whose state count matches the refined Gibbons-Hawking entropy of dS_3, as predicted by…
I will discuss a classification of BPS states into monotone versus fortuitous in holographic CFTs, based on their behaviors in the large N limit.
