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.

Hilary O'Donnell was one of the three DIAS technicians instrumental in analyzing data form Ireland's first space experiment measuring cosmic rays on #Apollo 16. She is now retired and volunteers in @DIASDunsink as an outreach coordinator and caretaker. #DIASdiscovers #WomenInSTEM
“There is still a profound sense of wonder” ☄️ Our own @petertgallagher, Head of Astronomy & Astrophysics, on yesterday's @bbcradioulster #SundaySequence discussing the legacy of #Apollo11 with @AudreyCarville and guests: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #DIASDiscovers #Apollo50
Prof Teresa Lago, Sec Gen of @IAU_org, was back in Dublin July 4 to mark 100 years of the IAU, discussed Ireland’s long history of IAU association, the links between Portugal and Ireland joining @ESO, and the need for better gender representation within the IAU. #DIASdiscovers
In the words of Michelle Obama, “you have walked through that door of opportunity, and thank you for reaching back and supporting others” @mitchelloconnor thanking Professor Teresa Lago, Sec Gen of @IAU_org, for her work trailblazing a path for women in Astronomy. #DIASdiscovers
Senior Professor @petertgallagher, of @DIASAstronomy helping to "inspire the next generation of scientific explorers" @I_LOFAR's new AstroLands that will stage space camps and workshops. Pictured in: irishtimes.com/news/science/n… in the @IrishTimes by @KOSullivanIT #DIASdiscovers
“The wonder of space, has for decades, inspired us all to learn more about our universe and our planet.” @mitchelloconnor welcomed Professor Teresa Lago to DIAS on July 4 to mark 100 years of @IAU_org and kick off our series of events celebrating #Apollo50! #DIASdiscovers
This week, we are celebrating the three female technicians, Emer Kee, Dinah Molloy and Hilary O’Donnell. These women analyzed cosmic ray data with Prof Denis O'Sullivan from Ireland's first space experiment on #Apollo 16. 👩🔬#DIASdiscovers #WomenInSTEM
