Non-Linear Quantum Mechanics
David E. Kaplan
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: We add non-linear and state-dependent terms to the Hamiltonian of quantum field theory. The resulting low-energy theory, non-linear quantum mechanics, is causal, preserves probability and permits a consistent description of the process of...

Symmetry Resolution at High Energy
Hirosi Ooguri
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: The density of states of a unitary conformal field theory is known to have a universal behavior at high energy. In two dimensions, this behavior is described by the Cardy formula. If the theory has symmetry, it is interesting to understand...

The Black Hole/String Transition in anti de Sitter Space
Erez Urbach
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: String stars, or Horowitz-Polchinski solutions, are string theory saddles with normalizable condensates of thermal-winding strings. In the past, string stars were offered as a possible description of stringy (Euclidean) black holes in...
