MS Seminar (Mathematics - String Theory)

Speaker: Daniel Jafferis (Harvard)
Title: 3d Gravity and Tensor Models
Date (JST): Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 13:30 - 15:00
Place: Seminar Room A
Abstract: I will present a tensor and matrix integral that admits a topological expansion, extending the 't Hooft expansion, and show that it exactly matches the sum over topology in pure AdS3 gravity. I will discuss some implications of these results, and various extensions, including to de Sitter gravity.
