Title: Holography and Equilibration Speaker: Edward Shuryak (Stony Brook) Date: Thursday, May 1, 2014 Time: 1:00pm-2:30pm Place: Seminar Room 313, Simons Center Abstract: It is well known that thermally equilibrated state is dual to a holographic black hole. The equilibration process is thus dual to black hole formation. The talk starts by considering two problems: (i) a falling membrane, dual to equilibration … Read more
Title: Absolute vs Relative Gromov-Witten Invariants Speaker: Aleksey Zinger Date: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 Time: 2:30pm-3:30pm Place: Seminar Room 313, Simons Center [box, type=”download”]Watch the video.[/box] Abstract: One might hope that the absolute and relative GW-invariants with the basic contact vector are the same whenever the symplectic divisor contains no curves. I will explain why this … Read more
