High Energy Theory Seminar

February 14, 2011 | 2:45pm - 4:15pm
We discuss some recent perturbative calculations for quantum strings in AdS5 x S5 and their comparison to integrability based results in planar N=4 Super Yang-Mills (SYM). We use a certain AdS version of the light-cone gauge, which is shown to yield...

We will discuss recent proposals of having effects coming from triangle anomalies of QCD in the plasma created in relativistic heavy ion collisions, such as chiral magnetic effect, chiral shear waves and chiral magnetic waves.

By representing the potentially unstable bound states as multi-centered black hole solutions in N=2 supergravity, we provide explicit formula for the change in the (refined) index across a wall of marginal stability. The main physical insight behind...
