Talks - Spring 2022

Islands outside the horizon

Speaker: Filip Landgren

Abstract: By considering the entanglement wedge of the Hawking radiation of an evaporation black hole so called entanglement islands will appear. In this talk I will present how these islands can be used to derive the Page curve, thus solving one aspect of the information paradox. I will show where these islands come from and how they can be derived using a standard replica trick. This work was awarded the Breakthrough New Horizons prize in 2021 and gained huge traction. In this 2d toy model an AdS black hole was coupled to a flat heat bath in which the radiation could escape into. I will also present some pressing issues with this model as well as how to move beyond it.

Building gauge theories and Calabi Yaus in diverse dimensions

Speaker: Azeem Hasan
Abstract: Minimally supersymmetric gauge theories in various dimensions can be engineered on worldvolume of D-branes probing transverse Calabi Yau singularities. This setup is most well studied for N=1 theories in 4d on D3 branes probing Calabi Yau threefolds. Less well studied are (0,2) theories in 2d on D1 branes probing fourfolds and N=1 matrix models on D(-1) branes probing fivefolds. In this talk I will describe an algorithm (arXiv:2004.13765) that leverages the uniform description of these theories developed in arXiv:1904.07954 to construct (0,2) 2d theories and N=1 0d matrix models and the corresponding geometries starting from better understood 4d N=1 theories and the corresponding 3 folds.

Towards F-theory Realizations of Exact MSSM Matter Spectra

Speaker: Muyang Liu
Abstract: The exact matter spectrum is a significant characteristic of 4D N=1 F-theory compactification, which is expected to match the particle physics we observe. This spectrum is specified by line bundles cohomologies associated to relevant matter curves under the presence of gauge background. In the study of realistic F-theory geometry, those line bundles in the consideration turn into the so-called root bundles. I will elaborate on the developments of interpretation and computation of root bundles based on work 2102.10115 and 2104.08297.
