High Energy Theory Seminar – External Speakers
VirtualIn selected weeks, we will have formal seminar talks by external speakers. All other talks in the HEP seminar are held by students for students. Clearly, faculty members will also participate. The format is informal. The talks are 45 minutes long, plus 15 minutes of discussion time.
High Energy Theory Seminar – Prof. Dr. Robert Myers (Perimeter Institute)
VirtualSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Robert Myers (Perimeter Institute, Canada) Title: Quantum Extremal Islands Made Easy Abstract: We illustrate the appearance of quantum extremal islands in holographic setups in higher dimensions. We emphasize the close parallel with the behaviour of holographic entanglement entropy in more familiar settings. https://vimeo.com/542234841 Back to HEP Seminar: https://physics.ua.edu/high-energy-theory-seminar/
