High Energy Theory Seminar

February 10, 2014 | 2:30pm - 4:00pm

I will review a lattice gauge theory construction of N=4 super-Yang-Mills that has been developed over the last several years. It starts from a "twist" of the original N=4 theory which was explicitly written out by Marcus. This twisted theory is re...

In this talk, I will present some results on the entanglement entropy due to the insertion of a Wilson loop in N=4 SYM and ABJM and will talk about the radiation emitted by a quark in these theories.

The construction of Abelian gauge symmetries in global F-theory compactifications has been more elusive than the well studied non-Abelian case. In this talk, I present a systematic approach to engineer Abelian gauge factors in F-theory, which are...

I will present results on scaling regimes in entanglement growth during thermalization in holographic field theories. These scaling regimes are derived from the time evolution of entanglement entropy of spatial regions in a class of idealized...
