Viscosity bound and causality in a superfluid plasma
Speaker(s): Sera Cremonini
Abstract: In this talk I will discuss the applications of the gauge/gravity duality to the strongly coupled quark gluon plasma, focusing in particular on the role of the shear viscosity to entropy ratio. It has been argued that the lower bound on the shear viscosity to entropy density in strongly coupled pla... read more

Bubbling AdS and Matrix Models
Speaker(s): Sera Cremonini
Abstract: 'In this talk we will focus on the supergravity duals of BPS states in N=4 Super Yang-Mills. In particular, we will describe how one can obtain a universal AdS bubbling picture for 1/4 and 1/8 BPS geometries, in analogy with the well-established 1/2 BPS droplet picture of LLM. In addition, we will s... read more
