Takuya Okuda talking about Wilson Loops at the most recent SCSS, UCLA, Dec. 2007. Click to enlarge.
The next regional string meeting is a two-day one at Caltech, this Friday and Saturday, organized by Joseph Marsano. It’s going to be full of interesting talks and conversations, as usual. Please encourage your graduate students to come, especially, since special effort is made to make sure that each talk begins with a pedagogical portion to help non-experts in that subfield navigate and see the motivation.
The speakers are:
- Andrei Mikhailov (Caltech) – Properties of transfer matrix in the pure spinor superstring in AdS_5 X S^5
- Steve Giddings (UCSB) – High-energy scattering and locality: gravity and strings
- Lisa Randall (Harvard) – To be Announced
- Itzhak Bars (USC) –
Field Theoretic Formulation of 2T-physics Including Gravity - Tom Banks (Santa Cruz) – Towards a Quantum Theory of de Sitter Space
- Joao Penedones (KITP) – High Energy Scattering in AdS/CFT
- Jason Kumar (UCI) – From IBM to Observation
- Markus Luty (Davis) – Macroscopic Strings at Colliders
You can see the website for the event here, with schedule and travel information.
See you there, perhaps!
