HET Seminar | Quantum mechanics and observers for gravity in a closed universe
Daniel Harlow (MIT)
Recently there have been several arguments given for the seemingly absurd statement that the Hilbert space of quantum gravity in a closed...
Brown Bag Seminar | Geometric Entropies and their Hamiltonian Flow
Pratik Rath (UC Berkeley)
The geometric entropy is a localized contribution to the entropy obtained using Euclidean gravity methods. In this talk, I will discuss the...
Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics Public Lecture| Why we explore
Rob Meyers (Perimeter Institute)
Humanity faces real and present problems. Our resources to address these problems are limited. It’s easy to think, then, that we should...
HET Seminar | Lifting Swing Surfaces to AdS
Sabrina Pasterski (Perimeter)
The entanglement entropy for regions in a BMS field theory living at null infinity has been proposed to be holographically dual to certain...
Brown Bag Seminar | Effective $AdS_3/CFT_2$; Life is simpler without black holes
Soumangsu Chakraborty (OSU)
The holographic dual to string theory in $AdS_3 x N$ has always been a fundamental question in high-energy theoretical physics. To this day,...
