Quantum Anomalies Program Seminar: Edward Shuryak (Stony Brook)

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
