Title: Microscopic description of Schwarzschild black hole from quantum field theory
Speaker: Dr. Masanori Hanada (University of Southampton/Keio University)
Abstract: The gauge/gravity duality relates black
hole and QFT. In particular, the ‘small black hole’ in AdS5*S5, which is
essentially the Schwarzschild black hole with negative specific heat,
should be described by 4d maximal super Yang-Mills theory. But how can
such an exotic object be described by healthy QFT? How can the negative
specific heat arise?
In this talk, we propose a simple mechanism: partial deconfinement, i.e. SU(M) in SU(N), with M & N, deconfines. Essentially the same phase exists many systems, most notably the ant colony. We explain how the D-brane, open string and black hole correspond to the ant, pheromone and ant trail, and three types of the phase diagram of the ants have the counterparts in gauge theories. From this point of view, Schwarzschild black hole with the negative specific heat corresponds to the unstable ant trail. We also explain the numerical study of QFT aimed for the nonperturbative study of the partially deconfined phase.

Tonight is DIAS's last @Histfest event for 2019. Thanks to all who took part! The open night at DIAS Dunsink Observatory is completely booked out! Fear Not! Our Samhain agus Science mini-fest kicks off on the 30 October. Book your free place here: eventbrite.ie/o/dublin-insti…
The competition was commissioned by the @RIAdawson, @TFIupdates and Transport Infrastructure Ireland. #DIASdiscovers
While there is an obvious @DIASDunsink link, there is another #DIAS link to this event. Pictured on the right here you will see @TomRayDIAS with his daughter @Emma_Ray_Artist whose own flash of creativity won the commission in 2018.
What a day yesterday! Amazing autumnal sunshine for not only the Hamilton walk but the official unveiling of the new artwork commemorating William Rowan Hamilton's "eureka" moment at what is now Broombridge luas stop.
Wow! This image from an article published in August is from a group lead by Ruben Fedriani. It is a result of work undertaken while at DIAS is now a featured image on @NatureComms site! It is a striking. Excellent work Ruben and team! #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/NatureComms/st…
Great photo @jm_astro 👍. Looks like a perfect morning for the Hamilton walk and @Emma_Ray_Artist artwork unveiling. Happy Hamilton Day. @RIAdawson @MaynoothUni twitter.com/jm_astro/statu…
