Physics Group Meeting

March 19, 2014 | 1:30pm - 3:00pm

A summary of results on relativistic local quantum theory and sketches of some of the important mathematical ideas underlying the theory are presented. Details can be found in the book of Rudolf Haag and various review papers (in particular ones...

TeV scale Wino, provides a possible Dark Matter candidate in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Such a dark matter candidate evades all current direct detection and collider bounds and can only be probed through its...

Anomalous dimensions of any local operators in planar N=4 SYM are a unique example of a non-BPS quantitiy, defined by genuine 4D Feynman graphs including all gluon interactions, which can be computed exactly, in principle at any 't Hooft coupling...

New self-dualities involving two index tensors are derived. These new self-dualities are used to build various duality cascades. Both vector like and chiral cascades are presented. Aside from ending in confinement, these duality cascades can also...

The covariant holographic entanglement entropy formula expresses the entropy of a given region in terms of the area of a certain spacelike surface in the bulk. In holographic models of thermalization involving gravitational collapse, it has been...

In this talk, I plan to review some of the recent advances in anomaly induced transport processes with a focus on the relation between Lorentz anomalies and thermal transport. The focus will be on an interesting observable called `thermal helicity'...
