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.

Following on from our post, highlighting inspiring #WomeninResearch and encouraging #MondayMotiviation to explore these subjects. @ChantalKobel presents Celticist, Nessa Ní Shéaghdha and her contributions to the discipline youtu.be/LGPLltjTBKw #DIASdiscovers
We have entered the last month to capture that amazing photo of the sky and win our Astrophotography competition. We are accepting photographs taken between 01 January 2020 and 31 March 2021. You can submit an entry up to Friday 02nd April 2021. More: dias.ie/reachforthesta…

Meet the Judges of our "Reach for the Stars" Astrophotography competition! @MartinaPQuinn is the Founder & Managing Director of @helloalicepr.
Want to learn more about what's happening on Mars? Check out our public lecture from November delivered Dr John Clinton and titled MarsQuakes! (5/5) youtu.be/_Lp0oLJ8Ahs
And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)
