Quantum Anomalies Program Seminar: Tigran Kalaydzhyan, Stony Brook University

Title: “Intro: Holographic fluids and superfluids” Speaker: Tigran Kalaydzhyan, Stony Brook University Date: Thursday January 16 Time: 1:00pm Place: Seminar Room 313, Simons Center Abstract: I will present a pedagogical introduction to the fluid-gravity duality. I will start from the intuitive description of the AdS/CFT-correspondence without any use of the string theory, and describe the duality dictionary most suitable for the … Read more

Della Pietra Lecture Series Presents Dr. Frank Wilczek, March 4 – 5, 2014

Public Talk Tuesday March 4 at 5:30pm, Simons Center Auditorium, room 103: Title: “Expanding the Doors of Perception” Abstract: Modern physics has taught us that our unaided senses perceive only an infinitesimal portion of physical reality. Within that theme, Frank Wilczek, PhD, a Nobel Laureate and professor of physics at MIT, will especially emphasize color … Read more
