Probe Branes, time dependent couplings and thermallization in AdS/CFT
Speaker(s): Sumit Das
Abstract: We study time dependent couplings in conformal field theories using rotating probe branes in AdS X S spacetimes. We find that induced metrics on the brane worldvolumes develop horizons with characteristic Hawking temperatures even when there is no black hole in the bulk. This framework is used to ob... read more

Gauge Duals of some Singularities
Speaker(s): Sumit Das
Abstract: Certain classes of cosmological backgrounds in asymptotically anti-de-Sitter space-times have hologropically dual descriptions in terms of gauge theories. We analyse such backgrounds with smooth initial conditions, where curvatures become strong in a finite time and the gravity equations break down.... read more
