Modern Physics Letters A – Samuel Kováčik (STP) Published Paper

Title ‘R3λ-Inspired Black Holes’ Author Samuel Kováčik – School of Theoretical Physics, DIAS Abstract We study a black hole with a blurred mass density instead of a singular one, which is caused by the noncommutativity of three-space. Depending… Read More

Thursday 6th July: STP Seminar – “Quantum engineering using magnetic fields: Quantum Magnetomechanics”

Title: Quantum engineering using magnetic fields: Quantum Magnetomechanics Speaker: Jason Twamley (Macquarie University, Sydney) Abstract: Optomechanics – the control and manipulation of mesocopic objects towards the quantum regime, has attracted much attention. The use of light however, brings with it several… Read More

Monday 27th March: STP Seminar – “Yang-Baxter sigma-models, conformal twists & noncommutative Yang-Mills”

Title: Yang-Baxter sigma-models, conformal twists & noncommutative Yang-Mills Speaker: Eoin Ó Colgáin (University of Surrey) Abstract: The Yang-Baxter σ-model is a systematic way to generate integrable deformations of AdS5×S5. We recast the deformations as seen by open strings, where the… Read More
