High Energy Theory Seminar

Quantum Criticality and Black Holes
Subir Sachdev
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall
Many condensed matter experiments measure the transport properties of finite temperature many-body systems in the vicinity of a zero temperature quantum phase transition. Although there are often no well-defined particle-like excitations at such...

Progress on the Geometry of Supersymmetric String Vacua
Alessandro Tomasiello
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall
I will review what is known about geometric supersymmetric string vacua that are not based on Calabi-Yau manifolds, giving both general arguments and some examples. I will also describe some new results on an improved formal characterization of such...
