Southern California Strings Seminar

We’re hosting the next Southern California Strings Seminar here at USC. It will be on Friday 6th May. I’ve been working on it a lot over the last several days* and put the finishing touches on the arrangements just this morning.

There’ll be no Saturday morning component this time, since there’s yet another huge event down at USC this weekend, and things will be rather disrupted, I understand, as there’ll be lots of people, street closures, and so forth**. (It is the Revlon Run/Walk event in exposition park, across the street from us, an excellent event!)

So I’ve packed five exciting talks into Friday, and I think it is going to be fun! Here’s the schedule:

START

09:00 – 09:15 Welcoming remarks and Orientation

09:15 – 10:15 Eric Perlmutter (UCLA) “Schrodinger Holography: Universality and Exactness”
10:15 – 10:30 discussion

10:30 – 10:45 coffee and cookies

10:45 – 11:45 Tameem Albash and Clifford V. Johnson (USC) “Toward Quark and Meson Dynamics in QGP Via N=2*”
11:45 – 12:00 discussion

12:00 – 13:45 lunch

13:45 – 14:45 Michael Gutperle (UCLA) “Higher Spin Black Holes”
14:45 – 15:00 discussion

15:00 – 15:15 coffee and cookies

15:15 – 16:15 David R. Morrison (UCSB)  “Supergravity and F-theory vacua in six dimensions.”
16:15 – 16:30 discussion

16:30 – 16:45 coffee and cookies or tea and biscuits

16:45 – 17:45 Stephan Stieberger (MPP)  “The Harmony of Superstring Amplitudes: Implications from/to Field-Theory”
17:45 – 18:00 discussion

END

It’ll all be at DML 233 on the main campus at USC. [I expect I’ll update the online SCSS website sometime middle/late tomorrow, along with this post.] Done. Schedule on the site here.
