Theoretical Physics Seminar: Yasha Neiman (part 2)

Date

Location

Lab 4, E48

Description

This is the 37th biweekly (LOL) session of the OIST Theoretical Physics Seminar.
In this seminar series, we pretend to have a theoretical physics department, and tell each other informal stories over drinks and snacks.
Except no drinks and snacks, because COVID.

Speaker: Yasha Neiman (Quantum Gravity).
Title: "A new kind of Feynman rules: what is Higher Spin Gravity? (part 2)"

I'll try to convey my excitement about my latest project, which involves a new Feynman-diagram-like framework for the elusive theory of Higher Spin Gravity. I'll try and hit a number of themes:
1. Frameworks vs. models in theoretical physics.
2. The importance of being Earnest local.
3. Marrying ideas from fields and strings, from on-shell and off-shell.
4. Numerics-as-experiment in mathematical physics.
