Seminar
Solution-generating Techniques in Supergravity and
Their Applications to AdS/CFT
Dr Jerome Gaillard
University of Wisconsin-Madison
14 May 2013 (Tuesday)
2:00 - 3:00 pm
Room 4612 (4/F via Lifts 31-32), HKUST
Abstract:
The speaker presents different ways of generating new supergravity
solutions starting from known ones. It is useful in the context of
gauge/ gravity duality where it provides us with new duals of field theories
with interesting features. In addition, because the new backgrounds are
derived by transforming some known solutions, one can study how this process
translates at the level of field theory and see if it sheds some light on
how apparently different field theories can in fact be related.
The seminar is free and open to the public. No registration is required. Seating is on a first-come first-served basis.
