In this talk, I plan to review some of the recent advances in anomaly induced transport processes with a focus on the relation between Lorentz anomalies and thermal transport. The focus will be on an interesting observable called `thermal helicity'...

AdS/CFT is a duality relating the degrees of freedom in a D dimensional bulk gravity theory to a (D-1) dimensional theory living on the boundary.
I will argue that in fact the boundary theory contains only a subset of the bulk observables. For each...

I will discuss how to compute Entanglement Renyi Entropies for two dimensional holographic CFTs using AdS_3 handlebody solutions. Some simplifying assumptions are made. The answer I find is consistent with the Ryu-Takayanagi prediction for...

N=1 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory with 4 flavors has not only the usual Seiberg dual description, but also the Intriligator-Pouliot dual as an Sp(1) gauge theory, and yet another one found by Csaki, Schmaltz, Skiba and Terning (CSST). We show...
