Theoretical Physics Seminar: Riccardo Martini
Date
Friday, February 7, 2020 - 14:00
Location
Lab 1, C016
Description
This is the 18th biweekly 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.
Speaker: Riccardo Martini (Gravity, Quantum Geometry and Field Theory).
Title: "Renormalization methods in quantum gravity".
With the excuse of constructing a field theory of quantum gravity I will provide an overview of renormalization concepts and heat kernel methods. The main applications will be two dimensional quantum gravity and higher derivatives quantum gravity in four dimensions, where the operator content allow for a perturbative analysis of the renormalization group flow.
