Monday 7th November: STP Seminar – “Black Hole Microstates in AdS_4 From Supersymmetric Localisation”

Title: Black Hole Microstates in AdS_4 From Supersymmetric Localisation Speaker: Kiril Hristov (Inst. Nucl. Res., Sofia) Abstract: This talk addresses the problem of counting the microstates of supersymmetric asymptotically AdS black holes in terms of a holographically dual… Read More

Tuesday 1st November: STP Seminar – “BPS black holes and the double copy”

Title: BPS black holes and the double copy Speaker: Silvia Nagy (Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon). Abstract: We show how one can construct N=2 matter coupled supergravity as a product of N=2 SYM with a bosonic theory. We use… Read More

Friday 21st October: STP Seminar – “Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Gravity & Fractal Spacetime from the Quantum Browian Motion Perspective”

Title: Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Gravity & Fractal Spacetime from the Quantum Browian Motion Perspective. Speaker: Bei-Lok Hu (University of Maryland). Abstract: Many approaches to quantum gravity find that spacetime near the Planck scale (10^33cm) becomes effectively two-dimensional. Recently… Read More
