Abstract: The Nambu-Goto string action can be
related to an integrable deformation of a free theory. The
scattering of excitations on the two-dimensional worldsheet of the
string is then very simple, given by a pure phase. In this talk I
will...
Abstract: We construct compactifications of
type IIB string theory that yield, at leading order in the α ′ α ′
and g s g s expansions, de Sitter vacua of the form envisioned by
Kachru, Kallosh, Linde, and Trivedi. We specify explicit
Calabi-Yau...
Abstract: We employ a probabilistic mesoscopic
description to draw conceptual and quantitative analogies between
Brownian motion and late-time fluctuations of thermal correlation
functions in generic chaotic systems respecting ETH. We apply
this...
Abstract: I propose a bottom-up
correspondence between a CFT defined on 2D non-orientable
manifolds, such as the real projective plane (RP2) and the Klein
bottle (K2), and AdS3 Einstein gravity with dS2 end-of-the-world
branes. In this...
Abstract: The Anti-de-Sitter/Condensed Matter
Theory (AdS/CMT) correspondence has attracted significant attention
within high-energy physics, particularly in the study of
holographic superconductors, which are modeled as asymptotically
Anti-de...
Abstract: In recent years, there have been
various activities trying to better understand the interplay
between non-invertible global symmetries and boundary conditions in
quantum field theories, with applications ranging from scattering
of solitons...
