Cosmology inside the brane and holography
Speaker(s): Matthew Johnson
Abstract: TBA
Date: 02/07/2009 - 11:00 am

A universal inequality for CFT and quantum gravity
Speaker(s): Simeon Hellerman
Abstract: The holographic duality gives a one-to-one mapping between consistent theories of gravity with AdS_d ground state, and conformal field theories in d-1 dimensions. Since the latter are unambiguously well-defined, we can use their defining properties to prove rigorous, model-independent theorems cover... read more

On the (un)naturalness of Higgs inflation
Abstract: I discuss the basic model of Higgs inflation, with a large non-minimal curvature coupling, from the point of view of effective field theory. It is pointed out that the effective cutoff scale is uncomfortably low compared to the inflation scale, thus rendering these models extremely sensitive to the ... read more

Multi-Trace Deformations of AdS/CFT and Spherical D-branes
Speaker(s): Alice Bernamonti
Abstract: It has been shown by Hertog and Horowitz that certain AdS boundary conditions allow non-singular initial conditions to evolve into a Big Crunch. To study this kind of cosmological singularities, one can use the dual quantum field theory, where the singularity is manifested by the presence of a multi... read more
