Technion-Haifa University String Theory Group

Seminars

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: “Non-Symmetries and 2-Dimensional QCD” ?Abstract : We will review the subject of “non-symmetries’’ or “defect symmetries.” We will argue that massless two dimensional QCD admits exponentially many such symmetries and we use them to …

Title: Partition functions of the tensionless string Abstract: I discuss string theory on AdS3xS3xT4 in the tensionless limit,with one unit of NS-NS flux. This theory is conjectured to be dual to the symmetric product orbifold …

Title:Reggeized scattering, entanglement and chaos using AdS/CFTABSTRACT:The eikonalized parton-parton scattering amplitude at large energy and large impact parameter, is dominated by the exchange of a hyperbolic surface in walled AdS. Its analytical continuation yields a …
