Physics Group Meeting | Jennifer Lin, Member, School of Natural Sciences, IAS | "Algebraic EE and Holography”
Wed, Mar 29, 2017, 1:45 pm

In the first part of the talk, I’ll explore whether EE’s of subalgebras not organized by position space in a holographic CFT may be useful for bulk reconstruction. In particular I'll explain how the lengths of non-minimal geodesics in AdS3 conical defect backgrounds can be interpreted as the EE's of certain subalgebras in the dual CFT.

Physics Group Meeting | Bartek Czech, Member, School of Natural Sciences, IAS; Stanford University | “Kinematic Space and Applications”
Wed, Mar 15, 2017, 1:45 pm

I will discuss kinematic space--the space of pairs of points in a CFT. Basic objects living in kinematic space are OPE blocks--contributions to the OPE from a single conformal family. In holographic theories, OPE blocks are dual at leading order in 1/N to integrals of effective bulk fields along geodesics or homogeneous minimal surfaces in AdS...

Wed, Feb 1, 2017, 1:45 pm

I will review the lightcone bootstrap and explain how it can be used to describe analytically some new numerical results for the 3dIsing CFT.

Math Physics Seminar, Jeffrey Schenker, Michigan State, "Localization in the disordered Holstein model"

Math Physics Seminar, Jeffrey Schenker, Michigan State, "Localization in the disordered Holstein model"
Tue, Mar 8, 2016, 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm
The Holstein model (in the one particle sector) describes a lattice particle interacting with independent Harmonic oscillators at each site of the lattice. We consider this model with on site disorder in the particle potential. This is proposed a simple model in which it may be possible to test some ideas regarding multi/many-body localization.
