IntroductionIn this class we will study the TTbar deformation of two-dimensional quantum field theories and its holographic description in three-dimensional gravity.AudienceGraduateLecturer IntroI received my PhD degree in theoretical physics from New York University in 2014. I did postdocs at Stockholm University, Tsinghua University, and the University of Amsterdam. In 2020, I joined the Yanq...
AbstractMany instances have recently been found on the intriguing interplay between string landscape and algebraic geometry via the swampland program. In this talk, we will exemplify such an interplay. Specifically, by addressing universal properties of compact elliptic Calabi-Yau (d+1)-folds, we will test out some of the swampland conjectures for all possible effective QFT models of F-theory i...
