21. Holographic zero sound

Ronnie Rodgers

05/04/2019, 14:15

This talk will focus on how holography can be applied to condensed matter physics. I will review the physics of zero sound in Fermi liquids, an excitation which resembles hydrodynamic sound but exists at low temperature. I will then discuss a class of holographic models which exhibit a phenomenon similar to zero sound. These holographic models describe systems which are most definitely not...

23. Quantum gravity and cohomological methods

Alex Mitchell

05/04/2019, 14:55

In this brief talk I discuss two aspects of a novel approach to quantum gravity, the first of these is the construction of evanescent operators of the dilaton which provides an initial direction to finding solutions to the inherent problems of non-renormalizability of quantum gravity. The second is the use of the Batalin-Vilkovisky anti-field technique and how this can be used with...

24. Cluster Adjacency of Scattering Amplitudes

Jack Foster

Recent developments in scattering amplitudes have illuminated new mathematical structures in quantum field theory. Most notably research in N=4 Super Yang-Mills has led to the development of the cluster bootstrap program in which scattering amplitudes have a geometric interpretation through cluster algebras. In my talk I will discuss one new facet of this program - cluster adjacency - and what...
