A tour of holographic duality

by Joris Raeymaekers (CEICO, Prague)

Thursday 6 Feb 2025, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/Prague

Abstract: 

In 1997 Maldacena proposed a remarkable equivalence between  quantum gravity and gauge theory.  Since then this `holographic' duality has had a profound impact on many areas of physics. In this talk I will attempt to give a gentle introduction to the basics of the duality as well as a tour of its successes and applications. I will also touch on  some recent advances and generalizations.

 

 

The seminar will be held in the Dvořák hall, FZU, Pod Vodárenskou věží 1, Prague.
