Supersymmetric Black Holes, Holography and Microstate Counting: October 31-November 4, 2022

Organized by: Cyril Closset (University of Birmingham), Leopoldo Pando Zayas (Michigan U.), Luigi Tizzano (Université Libre de Bruxelles), Chiara Toldo (Harvard University), Alberto Zaffaroni (Milano Bicocca U.) These activities will be dedicated to the study of supersymmetric black holes in holography from both sides of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Holography provides a powerful framework which allows … Read more

5d N=1 SCFTs and Gauge Theories on Brane Webs: October 17 – October 21, 2022

Organized by: Amihay Hanany (Imperial College London), Marcus Sperling (Tsinghua University), Antoine Bourget (Imperial College London), Julius Grimminger (Imperial College London) Five dimensional (5d) Lagrangian gauge theories are non-renormalizable, however many 5d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories can be understood as effective infrared (IR) descriptions of 5d or 6d conformal fixed points in the ultraviolet (UV) under … Read more
