Event Series Colloquium

Liouville Theory and Weil-Petersson Geometry

CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Colloquium Speaker: Sarah Harrison (Northeastern University) Title: Liouville Theory and Weil-Petersson Geometry Abstract: Two-dimensional conformal field theory is a powerful tool to understand the geometry of surfaces. Liouville conformal field theory in the classical (large central charge) limit encodes the geometry of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. I describe an efficient algorithm to compute […]

Real-time observables in horizon thermodynamics

Virtual

General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Albert Law, Stanford Title: Real-time observables in horizon thermodynamics Abstract: Euclidean black hole 1-loop determinants have recently been shown to compute a renormalized thermal canonical partition function for free fields in Lorentzian signature. A key ingredient is a 'quasinormal mode (QNM) character', whose Fourier transform equals the renormalized spectral density of the single-particle […]
