Holography in the Gravitational Wave Era

Exceptional Seminar David au:Mateos'><span class='hl'>David</span> Mateos (ICC Universitat de Barcelona and ICREA)

at:
12:00 QMUL
room GO Jones 610
abstract:

The discovery of gravitational waves has opened a new experimental window into the Universe. The fact that the relevant dynamics is often out of equilibrium offers a golden opportunity for holography to make a unique impact on cosmology and astrophysics. I will illustrate this with applications to cosmological phase transitions, to neutron star mergers and to the BKL dynamics near a cosmological singularity.

Towards the string dual of a color superconductor

Triangular Seminar David au:Mateos'><span class='hl'>David</span> Mateos (Barcelona)

at:
16:30 IC
room Blackett LT2
abstract:

At low temperature and high quark chemical potential, QCD exhibits color superconducting phases, namely phases in which the color gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken. I will describe work in progress aimed at constructing string duals of gauge theories that exhibit these types of phases.
