(Building on work by Sachdev, Ye, Parcollet and Georges) Kitaev
has proposed a simple quantum mechanical model as a dual to an
AdS_2 black hole. It would be nice to understand the bulk theory.
(Is it local? Is there randomness? How is conformal...
Euclidean wormholes are simple solutions such as the one
discussed in
the attached paper by Giddings and Strominger. (see email)

I will survey some properties of the 6d (2,0) theories that can
be determined using only their symmetries. In particular, I will
discuss their anomalies, moduli spaces, ADE classification, and the
relation to 5d super Yang-Mills.
We start by reviewing the gauging of the superconformal
symmetriesin BLG and ABJ(M) theories and some of the features of
the resulting theories. These include a new type of SO(N) theories
with 8 supersymmetries which turn out to have a number of...
I will introduce polynomial congruences and indicate why number
theorists might care about them. I will then describe reciprocity
laws which predict the number of solutions to a polynomial
congruence in terms of discrete subgroups of Lie groups. The...
