QG group meeting.
Speaker: Aritra Banerjee.
Title: "A short and dull tale of long and null strings"

TQM unit is pleased to invite you to the seminar!

Tell Me Something I Don't Know lunchtime event.
All are welcome, but must be prepared to tell a cool science story.

Title: Topological recursion for tensor models

Title: Unitary matrix models

Title: Kinematic algebra

Seminar: Triple scaling of a multimatrix model U(N)^2 x O(D), continued.

Title: Triple scaling of a multimatrix model U(N)^2 x O(D)

Title: Quantum Gravity, Quantum Observables, Wilson Loops, and Geometric Flux

Abstract: I will brainstorm and introduce you to the type of problems that I tend to think about in quantum gravity. The title suggests some of the key concepts that I will visit in this talk in order to arrive at the recent interesting result that my collaborators and I discovered, namely, the notion of geometric flux in gravity.

Title: "Resurgent Properties of Minimal Strings and Painlevé Equations"

Abstract: In this this talk we will introduce the concept of resurgence and how can it be applied to construct global, nonperturbative solutions. As complete examples, we will mention the cases of the Painlevé I and II, while we will end up by focusing on the current state of the Inhomogeneous PII and a q-deformed PII. All these equations (with the exception of the Inhomogeneous PII) appear in the context of Minimal Strings and represent interesting low-dimensional toy models of Quantum Gravity.
