During the semester we have a high energy seminar and a lunch seminar. In addition to these two seminars we participate in a joint theoretical high energy theory seminar in Newe Shalom. The joint seminar takes place on Tuesdays from 10:30 until 13:30 and includes two talks and lunch. This seminar is attended by the high energy groups of all the Israeli institutions and usually attracts a crowd of roughly twenty participants.

Title: Chaos and Wormholes in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev ModelAbstract: The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model is a solvable many-body theory with a low-energy limit givenby the Schwartzian action found for the boundary dynamics Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. This model has greatly improved …
