IAS PROGRAM ON PARTICLE THEORY
Anisotropic Weyl Anomalies, Lifshitz Holography and Multicritical Symmetry Breaking
Prof Petr Horava, University of California at Berkeley
Date : 22 Feb 2014 (Saturday)
Time : 1:00 pm
Venue : IAS4042, 4/F, Lo Ka Chung Building, Lee Shau Kee Campus, HKUST

Abstract

The speaker will review the idea of quantum gravity with anisotropic scaling, and its applications to holography for non-relativistic field theories, focusing on the structure of anisotropic Weyl anomalies. He will also present some surprises which occur when the notion of Naturalness meets nonrelativistic physics.

The seminar is free and open to all. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
