In this talk I review the holographic dual of an entangled pair
of a quark and an anti-quark. The bulk dual on the Poincare patch
is a string with an Einstein-Rosen bridge on its worldsheet. String
solutions will be discussed that correspond to...
Solutions of string/M theory with low energy supersymmetry breaking
generically have light moduli fields whose masses are of order the
supersymmetry breaking scale. These fields -- whose expectation
values parametrise the size and shape of the...
I will review progress and questions originating from an attempt
to quantize pure gravity on AdS3 by using canonical quantization in
a "constrain first" approach. Questions will outnumber answers.
We review the issue of "state dependence" of bulk to boundary maps
for the black hole interior in AdS/CFT. We argue that this is
necessary not only for single sided black holes but also for the
eternal black hole. We resolve some potential...
The LHC data are severely constraining natural theories of
electroweak symmetry breaking.
An important part of the constraints comes from the fact that
typically the partners of the top quark in carry color and can be
profusely produced at hadron...
A spatially extended excess of ~1-3 GeV gamma rays has been
detected from the region surrounding the Galactic Center,
consistent with the emission expected from annihilating dark
matter. Recent improvements in the analysis techniques have found
this...
