Line Operators on S^1 x R^3 and Quantization of the Hitchin Moduli Space
Speaker(s): Takuya Okuda
Abstract: We perform an exact localization calculation for the expectation value of Wilson-'t Hooft line operators in N=2 gauge theories on S^1 x R^3. The expectation values form a quantum mechanically deformed algebra of functions on the Hitchin moduli space by Moyal multiplication. We demonstrate that thes... read more

Matrix models for the black hole information paradox
Speaker(s): Takuya Okuda
Abstract: I'll discuss some large N quantum mechanical theories that are toy models for eternal black holes in AdS via gauge/gravity duality. They can be used to study the classical limit and quantum corrections in gravity, and their roles in the information paradox. We demonstrate that such large N models ca... read more
