Classical Double Copy: Horizons, Penrose Limits, Fluids, and Asymptotics

Regular Seminar Cynthia Keeler (Arizona State University)

at:
14:00 QMUL
room G. O. Jones 610
abstract:

I'll briefly review the classical double copy, which maps exact solutions of classical gauge theories like electromagnetism, to solutions of general relativity. We will relate several gravitational objects (including horizons, Penrose limits, and asymptotics, and duals to fluid systems) to their gauge theory analogues.
