Tuesday 27th February: STP Seminar – “Anomalous Transport”
Title: Anomalous Transport Speaker: Karl Landsteiner (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) Abstract: The concept of symmetry is one cornerstone of modern theoretical physics, quantum mechanics is another. Sometimes they are incompatible with each other. These incompatibilities are called anomalies. They constrain possible… Read More

Thursday 15th March: STP Seminar – “Einstein Gravity From Conformal Field Theory”
Title: Einstein Gravity From Conformal Field Theory Speaker: Andrei Parnachev (TCD) Abstract: We will analyse the Regge limit of certain four point functions in CFTs and will argue that holographic CFTs must be described by the Einstein gravity. Time: Thursday 15th… Read More

Tuesday 13th February: STP Seminar – “An Introduction to Causal Set Theory”
Title: An Introduction to Causal Set Theory Speaker: Dionigi M.T. Benincasa (DIAS) Abstract: Causal set theory is a sum-over-histories approach to quantum gravity, where the histories are discrete spacetimes (called causal sets) defined as locally finite partial orders. Causal sets were… Read More
