Emergence of space and time in holography

Triangular Seminar Hong Liu (MIT)

room S-2.23
abstract:

In holographic duality, a higher dimensional quantum gravity system is equivalent to a lower dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) with a large number of degrees of freedom. In this talk, I will introduce a framework to describe using the CFT how geometric notions in the gravity system, such as spacetime subregions, different notions of times, causal structure, and spacetime connectivity, emerge in the semi-classical limit.
