Something Cloudy, Something Clear: Yet Another Look at Canonical Quantization of Pure Gravity on AdS3
Massimo Porrati
1:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

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.

BIG J
Simeon Hellerman
1:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

The topic of this seminar is the simplification of strongly interacting quantum
field theory at large J, where J is the quantum number of a state
under some symmetry group such as angular momentum or a global charge. As an example, I will review...
