Statistical Mechanics, Critical Phenomena and Renorm

[Seminar] Vacua of Large-N QCD3 (Prof. Adi Armoni, Swansea University) , University of Sheffield, UK)

2021-11-09
L4E01

Title: "Vacua of Large-N QCD3"

Abstract: 3d QCD in the 't Hooft large-N limit admits a rich structure. In this talk I will review the dynamics of this theory and its vacuum structure.  I will also mention the gravity dual of the theory.

SYK Seminar, Part VI: JT Gravity 2/2 (Rotation Project)

2021-03-30
L4F01

As part of my rotation project I will give a series of introductory lectures on the SYK model. In Part VI, I continue my talk about black holes, 2d dilaton theory, JT gravity and Schwarzian theory. We will finally close the ark started in Part I by making contact with the IR limit of the SYK model.

SYK Seminar, Part V: JT Gravity 1/2 (Rotation Project)

2021-03-17

As part of my rotation project I will give a series of introductory lectures on the SYK model. In Part V, I begin an interlude about black holes, 2d dilaton theory and JT gravity.

SYK Seminar, Part IV: Emergent IR Symmetry (Rotation Project)

2021-03-03
L4E48

As part of my rotation project I will give a series of introductory lectures on the SYK model. In Part IV, I discuss how conformal symmetry emerges in the infrared limit.
