Title: Are defects the simplest theory of quantum gravity?
Abstract:
“In this talk, I will present the Flat-space limit of holographic defect theories. These models turn out to be in the class of the “Simplest Theory of Quantum Gravity” presented in [1205.6805]. This flat space limit gives an integrable model, free of divergences, despite having massless particles and elaborate derivative interactions. The hope is to exploit the knowledge of flat space scattering to learn about subleading terms in the large radius limit and thus to find a whole new class of integrable models. I will first relate the line defect to this Theory, I will then explain the integrability of the model and (time permitting) I will end with a description of features which make this theory gravitational.”
This will contain unpublished work so will only be available to RTG members.
I hope to see you all there!
