CHANGE IN DATE AND TIME FOR THIS WEEK!

This semester, we will be beginning a *very informal* get-together every Monday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch...

Abstract: Higher-form symmetry in a tensor product Hilbert space is always emergent: the symmetry generators become topological only when the Gauss law is energetically enforced at low energies. In this talk, I explain a general method for defining...

Abstract: I will review the correspondence between highly excited strings and black holes in the presence of angular momentum. At fixed imaginary angular velocity $\nu$, free strings exhibit a Hagedorn instability, explained—as in Atick and Witten...

Abstract: In arxiv.org/abs/2306.16687 we developed a general construction of bulk 1+1d geometry from the two-point function of a generalized free field at the 0+1d boundary. This construction was numerical and requires discretization of time. In...
