Speaker: Francesco Gentile Institution: SISSA Location&Place: Grey Room 2 Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss some new interesting properties of geodesic bit threads in static backgrounds. Bit threads are an insightful tool for investigating holographic entanglement entropy, providing a reformulation of the Ryu-Takayanagi formula in terms of the maximal flux of a bounded and […]
Speaker: George Tringas Institution: Lehigh U. Location&Place: Red Room Abstract: After the usual paper discussion, our guest George Tringas (Lehigh U.) will give a talk on Dualities and scale-separated AdS3 vacua
Quantum Information Journal Club Speaker: Javier Ignacio Lorca Espiro (Universidad de la Frontera, Chile) Venue&Time: Grey Room 3 / 11:30 AM Abstract: Higher dimensional abelian quantum double models have been shown to be well defined in any finite dimension and exhibit the characteristic behavior of SPT phases models. In this talk, we will introduce the […]
SPS Journal Club Speaker: Bruno De Luca Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: The problem of constructing de Sitter vacua in quantum theories of gravity is constrained by no-go theorems and made computationally challenging by the absence of supersymmetry. A popular approach to make it more tractableis to start from a supersymmetric compactification, such as […]
Speaker: Muthusamy Rajaguru (IFT Madrid) Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 PM Abstract: In this talk, I will give an overview of recent progress that has been made in constructing non-geometric flux vacua. In particular, I will focus on type IIB string compactifications where the internal geometry is described by the 2^6 and 1^9 Landau-Ginzburg (LG) models. These […]
