Title: AdS3 gravity and random CFT

Abstract: We are goin to discuss the recent paper by Jordan Cotler and Kristan Jensen   "AdS3 gravity and random CFT". Yasha Neiman will lead the discussion. 

Speaker: Bogna Ignatowska-Jankowska (Postdoctoral Scholar at Neuronal Rhythms in Movement Unit led by Marylka Yoe Uusisaari)

Location: C700 (Lab 3), Zoom

Title: Distinct behavioral effects of cannabinoids in 3D motion capture of freely moving mice

Theoretical Physics Seminar.
Speaker: 'Hannes Schoenke (Mathematics, Mechanics, Materials, and other aspects of M Theory).
Title: "A glimpse into the beauty of algebraic geometry (examples included!)"

Large N Phase Transitions and Small AdS-Schwarzschild Black Holes

Speaker: Sudip Ghosh

Abstract: We will discuss aspects of small AdS-Schwarzschild Black Holes in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular we will consider issues related to dynamical instabilities of small black holes and their dual interpretation in the boundary gauge theory at large N. 

Title: Extended TQFT

Abstract: This talk is the continuation of my TQFT discussion from last week. I am going to discuss the extended TQFT as an open-closed strings following the nice paper by Aaron D. Lauda, Hendryk Pfeiffer  "Open-closed strings: Two-dimensional extended TQFTs and Frobenius algebras". After that I am going to discuss 2-categories approach and compare it with asymptotic symmetries and edge modes. 

QG group meeting.
Speaker: Yasha Neiman
Title: "Boundary locality vs. higher-spin symmetry"

Our new Deigo Cluster is coming! Learn all about the migration, and ask us any questions you may have.

Title: Strings from Massive Higher Spins: The Asymptotic Uniqueness of the Veneziano Amplitude

Abstract: We are going to discuss the recent paper by Simon Caron-Huot, Zohar Komargodski, Amit Sever and Alexander Zhiboedov  "Strings from Massive Higher Spins: The Asymptotic Uniqueness of the Veneziano Amplitude". Dorian Weissman will be leading the discussion. 

TQM unit is holding a Zoom seminar.

Title : TQFT and Asymptotic symmetries

Speaker: Vyacheslav  Lysov

Abstract: I will provide an introduction to topological quantum field theories (TQFT) and their generalization - Extended TQFT. Using the TQFT framework I am going to discuss the behaviour of Hilbert spaces, associated to the  boundary components, under the gluing.
