High Energy Theory Seminar: CFT representation of bulk locality for fields with and without spin

Debajyoti Sarkar (City University of New York)

CFT representation of bulk locality for fields with and without spin

Abstract:
We will discuss to what extent bulk locality could be extracted in the large N limit for free and interacting scalar and spin…

Condensed Matter seminar: "Avalanche statistics and the effect of inertia, or polymer welding, crazing and strain hardening and the connection to entanglements"

Mark Robbins, Johns Hopkins University

Many systems evolve through a series of rapid avalanches that have a power
law distribution of sizes. Examples include magnetic domain walls, fluid
interfaces, deforming ice crystals and earthquakes. A…
