Takuya Okuda talking about Wilson Loops at the SCSS, UCLA, Dec. 2007. Click to enlarge.
The next regional string meeting is a two-day one at USC, this Monday and Tuesday. 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:
* Akhil Shah (UCLA): Gravity Dual of a Quantum Hall Transition
* James Hansen (UCLA): Nonlinear Magnetohydrodynamics from Gravity
* Ketan Vyas (Caltech): Surface Operators and Seiberg Duality
* Veselin Filev (DIAS, Ireland): Holographic Chiral Dynamics
* Tameem Albash (USC): A Holographic Superconductor in an External Magnetic Field
* Kentaroh Yoshida (UCSB/ITP): Schrödinger Symmetry and AdS/NRCFT Correspondence
See here for schedule and travel information. (It will be updated a few more times before the event.).
See you there, perhaps!

Gravity Dual of a Quantum Hall Transition:
I’m new at this, please help.
Was there a misprint? Duel for dual…a competition for gravitons’ affect and effect in transition (a duel)…or merely a duality (+/- focus) of gravitons and antigravitons, for example?
While I may have your attention, is the limit to infinity (which cannot be, in itself, a limit, by definition) of the asymptote ‘proof’ that one cannot know or calculate with certainty integrated hypotheses?
Thanks, JTA
Ah, well. So it goes!
Er.. They (i.e., I) have no plans to record this time.
Sorry.

So far away. . . they won’t be putting videos of these talks online by any chance, will they?
Non-relativistic. See my post about strings and cold atomic gases here. (To state the correspondence, the “AdS” part should also be adjusted… but anyway…)

quick question. What is the “NR” in the AdS/NRCFT correspondence. I have never seen that term before?
thanks,
