Department Colloquium: Prof. Valentina Forini (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin) talks about this topic:

On Fields and Strings, and exploring their duality

 

Abstract

The duality between string theory in higher-dimensional spacetimes and quantum field theories on their boundaries will be introduced,  highlighting how this framework can help reshaping our understanding of both quantum fields and gravity.  Some current challenges will be discussed, forming the focus of the research group "Theoretical Particle Physics: Gauge Fields and Strings”.
 

 

The Colloquium will be held in "hybrid" format, i.e., you can join the talk in the lecture hall or via zoom.
